I agree, but the fact that is does not work the same as a CD player has
been the overwhelming complaint WRT scanning. That is the point I was
trying to answer, and in particular, why it is silly to assert that it
should be a trivial feature because a 20-yr old product can do it.
Please read the original comment I quoted. If you want to have a
discussion about a different mechanism that does not have audible
feedback like a CD player, then I think that would be an excellent new
direction to explore.

Interesting - can you explain? Are you saying 

a) network streaming is a useless technology, because it makes scanning
difficult. Instead of making a network streamer, Slim Devices should
have used an internal hard drive or something. 

b) scanning is not really difficult to implement in a network streamer
(if that is what you're saying, please tell me how you would do it).

c) something else?
