Ah, right - I thought the Radio was touch-screen as well.

I actually meant Landscape, not Portrait. I meant to highlight the
difficulties of having one screen interface for the 'Radio' and 'Touch'
which are landscape orientated and the Controller screen which is
portrait.  I have been reading that people found that the interface did
not look so good on the Controller with a larger font and too much text
scrolling going on.

Yes, have read about your complex dual server system elsewhere!

For me it was very satisfying the other day to find the missus lounging
on the sofa browsing *-my-* music collection via the controller to
create a playlist for one of her boozy nights in with her friends
(during which I retreat to the saftey of a pub).  I just got the odd
question such as "who are Curve? Are they any good for background
music?" A question quickly answered with a short burst of 'Chinese
Burn'.  The Duet is  certainly improving her musical education!

Before the Duet I don't think she had even looked at my CD collection,
let alone listened to any of it.

She normally has no patience with gadgets. If it doesn't work first
time (preferably without needing to read a manual) then it just gets
tossed to one side.  

For her to progress as far as compiling her own playlists is a *major*
advance. The Squeezebox team should be proud and honoured.
