Is there really no way to jump to an alphabet letter while scrolling artists? I can't imagine anyone expected users to scroll through so many listings. -- Hamlet Hamlet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php

still usually overshoot and have to scroll back. Yes, I've used the acceleration, but still not nearly as efficient as jumping to a letter. I think it's odd that this was not made a part of the browse. I guess the beta testers didn't mind spinning their wheels a lot ;-) -- Hamlet

. In that case I'm very surprised that the more thoughtful ones lost that debate. Even when I use the crappy SB3 remote to browse I will almost always jump to a place in the alphabet first since it just makes sense. -- Hamlet

[slim] No Sound Effects from Controller

Testing out a brand new Duet, all works fine except no sound effects from the built-in speaker, but works using a headset. I am assuming that I got a defective unit, or is there something I am overlooking? -- Hamlet

Re: [slim] Love the controller , but always room for improvement..

Slightly unrelated but since I got the Duet and a Harmony One remote at the same time, I just want to comment that the Duet Controller blows the Harmony away in terms of it's feel and aesthetics. Holding one in each hand makes the Harmony feel cheap by comparison. -- Hamlet
