"Stop" just isn't neccessary on a streaming/non-mechanical device. On a tape player or CD 'stop' switches off the motor. Neither my iPod or Tivo have a stop button and, whilst it's confusing at first, you get used to it. What function would you want stop to have that pause/off doesn't? > why is there no Mute button (i.e. to set the volume to > zero and then back to the previous volume setting if pressed again)?

I see there's another thread at the moment about the remote. It's not ideal but my wish would be for an interface that is much simpler with far fewer remote buttons (i've done this to an extent by using a learning system remote). The one really useful addition for a slim remote would be to give it learning capabilities to operate volume and mute on a system amplifier - if you're using anything other than powered speakers (and i suspect most people are) controlling the volume of the squeezebox itself is very much second best. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
