Despite loving my SB2, and enjoying the way it has changed how I listen to music (for the better of cause), I simply can't stop wondering how great it would be if Slimdevices offered a "luxury" remote.
Thinking about it, if slimdevices thought they couldn't include it as the standard remote as it may push the price of the unit too high, maybe they could offer it as an optional extra? If Slimdevices offered a better far more functional remote, would anyone here buy it? The things I miss on the current remote, are *backlighting (who listens to their music in a fully bright lit room at night?) - maybe even something as smart as having a tilt sensor so as soon as you pick up the remote, the keys stay backlit. * A jog control, afterall, we spend so much time scrolling through playlists, browsing etc, spinning a jog control would be so much faster * Seperate keys for saving playlists (in fact for working with playlists as well), an actual stop button, clear current playlist etc Let's be honest. The whiole point of the SB was to "ignore" your computer, and enjoy all your music from the comfort of your armchair, and this means the remote is the single most used device of the SB. Surely some of the major remote manufactorers can redesign one of their standard highend remotes just for the squeezebox, and sell them in partnership with slimdevices. It seems to me, the sort of people who buy a SB, take their music and their hardware seriously enough that this would be a viable option. If you were to design a better remote, what options would you include? -- Justme _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
