That is if Radio Paradise is a favorite, I can press and hold a numeral button, say #1 for about 5s and it saves Radio Paradise as a quick launch shortcut. Now whenever I push and hold #1 for about 2s, Radio Paradise will play. Also works from off, so that with one button push, I can turn on my SB2, tune to Radio Paradise (and thru IR Blaster) also turn on my amp and set the source to the CD input. On the Touch remote, out of the box, the numeral keys basically do nothing. There is no geek port and thus no IR Blaster support.

Hitting pause, pauses the music only. JJZolx wrote: > It's a years-old product that won't be seeing any more significant > development.

Perhaps I'd go Sonos, if I were starting from scratch today, but I love my Squeezeboxes, I'm just not so sure about the Touch at this point... By the way, I did find a thread that indicated that the numeric IR remote quick launch functionality can be unlocked in the Touch; just haven't gotten around to enabling it yet.
