I want to rewind all the time - I'm an audiophile and I want to hear every bit of the music. If I miss something (because someone in my family speaks to me) then that is a reason. Secondly, I am always wanting to listen to a particular naunce or part of the song again to analyse it. Thirdly, for a demonstration, I may want to FF to a particular spot in a song. Fourthly, fifthly, sixthly the list goes on. Fact is - every CD player has done this well - there is no reason why the Squeezebox shouldn't do it. Technical or not - if the feature is advertised then it should work. That aside, doesn't the Squeezebox have a certain amount of buffer memory - why can't that be used for the FF / REW in the Squeezebox itself (in its native format)? -- amey01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ amey01's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11274 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35881 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
