That's still possible, but you use search and scroll to the first letter. With scrolling acceleration on the Controller I find it quicker to just scroll there though.

Congratulations :-) It is more expensive but if you amortize the cost by figuring that you'll be able to control four players then it's only $25 per player.

I only have 400 albums but find it just as quick to locate a specific one as it is with the IR remote and SB3 display. The two big advantages to me are being able to view album art and not having to be in line of sight of the player. The laptop, as you know, does those things already, but sometimes it's nice to get away from the device you've been using all day. For that reason I couldn't really see myself using the phone I've had to my ear all day as a remote for listening to music either.
