Ok, I see what you are saying...not that I agree, but I understand. If anyone has listened to a digital track (or watched one for that matter), they will know what that clicking and popping is immediately, although there doesn't appear to be an easy way to stop it with the SD remote. Once you get to know the remote (mostly trial and error), it is quite easy to stop (and resume normal playing). > > My 5 year old uses the remote with no issues.

Then get her to not fear technology. It only took me about 3 months. Now she can surf through listening to any Paris radio station through shoutcast, or with a few clicks, over to listening to some classic Polka from our wedding cassettes (converted to mp3). > > I'm not saying a better, more featureful remote wouldn't be a nice > > option.

It's like that on a lot of mp3 portables to save space. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
