"If you use the fishbone skin - it does." Trying them has made me realise with some surprise how UN-familiar I am with the album titles of things I've been playing for years. I'm an old fart, and have been used to digging in the cabinet for the album or CD I'm after, or often just browsing through, recognising a cover, and deciding to play that one. "Me too!" But whatever governs the choice, it's what it LOOKS like rather than what it's called that produces the recognition. With only text to play with for recognition, this process is very different. My feeling is that devices with bigger screens, with bigger ranges of images to browse through in order to select, will be the ones that win in the end. A few lines of text do not work the same way, IMO. "Conversly, I find it's quite nice when playing tracks on the SB to see the name of the song and tie it into the music: I rarely bother looking at CD cover notes, and (mostly) never know the titles of the tracks (numbers maybe...). But with LPs it's an eniterly different matter of course!
