I'm not an expert on IR Blaster, I've tested it to make sure it works
but that is as far as I've gotten. If my understanding is correct raw
mode is very low level information on how the IR beam is modulated. But

Touch has better audio, but the user interface is a step backward in
many ways. The SB2/3 and Transporter had a mature interface, while
SqueezePlay on the Touch and Radio feels unfinished.

Let's try this:
Using the remote, you have _exactly_ the same ability to turn off the
Touch off that you had with the SB2/3. It's immediate. The music stops.
You can set your off screensaver to display either a clock or completely

To be honest I don't use the touch screen very often, I just find it
handier to use the IR remote. However, I just tried and you can just
hold on the back arrow on the screen and it goes right to the home
screen. As for turning it on off, since it doesn't really use that

Thanks, didn't know about swipes or the press hold of the back arrow.
