I've had my Squeezebox 3 for a few weeks and I'm extremely happy with it. The hardware works great, and I'm continually impressed by the design and hard work that has gone into the SlimServer software. I don't even have time to delve into all the great features I could be using.
The only thing that's been an irritant to me--and I admit it is minor--is the design and placement of the volume buttons on the remote. In the spirit of providing feedback to the Slim Devices engineers and suggestions for improvement, I'd like to provide my thoughts. (If this is the wrong place to post this, I'd appreciate someone letting me know where suggestions belong) 1) I'd like the volume buttons to be more conveniently located. I find I have to stretch across the remote to reach them. I'd rather have the volume buttons within easy reach. At the very least I'd move the volume buttons to the right and have them swap places with the power button, which doesn't need to be accessed as often. (I'm right-handed, as are the majority of people) 2) Even more fundamentally, I find the labeling/placement of the volume buttons to be very un-intuitive. Volume up and down are indicated with up and down carets (^) yet the buttons are placed side-by-side, rather than vertically which would make the button arrangement consistent with the icons. Every time I want to change the volume I have to do a mental "double-take" to make sure I hit the right button. The recommendation would be either (1) to change the labels on the buttons to right and left carets ( < and > ), using the convention that the caret pointing right means higher volume, or better yet,(2) to place the buttons in a vertical arrangement with the top button being "up" volume (^). I hope this feedback helps. Other than this little thing, everything's been fabulous. -- Lawrence ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lawrence's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2667 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19212 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
