However I think it could be improved by making it less symmetrical and making the buttons slightly larger and backlit. The lack of symmetry seems important because people with limited vision, or anyone using the remote in the dark, could pick it up and know by feel which way up it is and where to find the buttons they need. I know that when I pick up the remote for my amplifier I will immediately be able to use it without looking at it, I can't say the same for the Squeezebox remote. I realise that everyone uses their Squeezebox in different ways and that not everyone uses it in dimmly lit rooms, but a lot of people do, and a lot of people have limited vision, so backlit buttons would be useful. Having said that I like the limited number of buttons on the remote I can hardly complain about the overloading! In general it works well, but having "Add" and "Play" do different things depending on where you are and how long you press it is just confusing when you first encounter it (and when I show it to a friend) I know I can re-map the buttons (I don't use "Shuffle" or "Repeat", so I may do that) I'm not complaining - I think my Squeezeboxes are fantastic, but I do notice how much more work it is to use a remote that you need to look at to use.
