You should submit that as a bug and attach one of the this-makes-my-radio-crash files to it. Sounds like some bug in the decoder or possibly the encoder ... since AAC playback is moving to the players, it is important for it to be robust. [I say it could be an encoder bug because I know of at least one buggy FLAC encoder that would not only crash SB's, but also confused the heck out of the official flac decoder... someone got tricky in their code and was emitting bad data.] > > Regardless of my decision to keep the Radio or not, the decision to > omit backlit buttons was a mistake on Logitech's part.

Yes, a backlight could probably be done for the cost of adding an LED either letting the gaps around buttons leak light for side illumination and/or having a transparent part of the button. Not a huge engineering change, but these days any change gets spendy. (Ah, the olden days of 'Engineering Change Orders' that specified running wire from one spot on a PCB to another... and socketed chips...) But I still love my Radio... the form factor and sound are just too nice to let go of despite "well it could be better.." things. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73045 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
