Okay, I'll have a look at the button sounds (I assume you mean for the
WM device in general, not a setting that's set inside the program.)

Um, yeah, favourites, playlists would be nice. =)

Some things that stood out immediately when first using the program on
my phone vs. using the Controller:

1) the Art work is very chunky. I think the program isn't running at
full 640x480 res. I know there is an option in Windows Mobile to upscale
programs running in non-native resolutions, but upscaling won't help not
seeing the artwork in full res. (since it just does pixel
multiplication).

2) a limitation of using a telephone as an audio controller is that the
phone has non-dedicated buttons. I am thinking specifically of the
scroll-wheel of the controller. This is a very efficient way of getting
through vast lists of songs, albums, and artists. 

3) the phone is slow compared to the controller. Changing tracks, etc.
doesn't have a snappy feel to it. Possibly Windows Mobile is slow, or
perhaps the program is slow, or who knows? 

4) is it even possible to fast-forward with the PDA software??

Its quite possible that a phone, even something as advanced as a Touch
Pro (which is a general ARM computer more than it is a phone in fact)
can't ever be as efficient a control mechanism as a dedicated
controller, in this case the Controller of the Duet.

But I certainly appreciate that someone is trying to get as close to
the functionality as possible.
