Mine does. ;-p

Yes. It does.

Mine doesn't. Actually it might do. I'll check when I get home.

Then why doesn't Spinal Taps?

You see, this is the problem when you let audiophiles or programmers design User Interfaces. You have to look at things from the perspective of someone who is not a programmer or Mathematician or Sound Engineer. Hard, I know, for some people to lower themselves to such levels but the results can be very good. It's unfortunate, but true that people expect a 'dumbed down' interface for most things. I don't like it, I like to be able to see what _I_ want to see, that's why I use GNU/Linux, that's why I use rockbox. But some people would prefer, for example, a computer to have one button that says "sort my life out" below it. Actually thinking about it...
