It is a matter of preference... but how many times and how many buttons did you have to press to get to Pink Floyd? Let's see... click the Right button to get to Browse, Click the Down Button to get to Artists, Press the "7" to Quick Jump to "P". How many Artist do you have that start with "P"? I have about 37, so I either have to click the Down button several times or press and hold... or find the 2nd letter to narrow the list down... Hmmm, I say about 10 clicks. Then click the "Play" button Assume a variable speed wheel and a corresponding GUI in the SB that responds to variable speed spins of said wheel. Also having a remote with a wheel which responds to up/down right/left and press to select/play. Without lifting my finger I go Left, One down to select Browse by Artist, a short quick spin down to the "P" a slow spin to get to Pink Floyd and Press the "Wheel" down to Play. I do not have to look at the remote control to do this. I just keep an eye on the SB. Of course, with some level of training I can also do this with the existing SD remote... But wait... I use other remotes. Which would you prefer? A car with two levers to move the wheels left and right or a car with a steering wheel? This is reason behind large knobs for volume and tuning in "most" stereos. Design studies show that people feel more confortable controlling dials (wheels) than rocking buttons. Choosing a song with the SB, for me, should be just like tuning a radio to the right radio station. Again, to each its own. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24528 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
