Well, I only use the SN portion of my SB3 (no computer streaming) so there may be differences in this remote usage between SC & SN. However, I believe it works as follows: You press "favorites" on remote, then pressing a number on the remote is ALPHA. So if you wanted your favorite station "jazz.fm" you would press the number 5 button (5 = J-K-L). When you reach the favorite you want you must press "play". The number buttons are basically search shortcut buttons, not "play" buttons. After J-K-L it will look for anything with a 5 (numeric). The problem with this is that (currently) your SN favorites are arranged in the order in which you selected them as favorites, not alphabetically. You can move them around via the SN web interface to be alpha if you choose. I "edited" the station name of all of my favorites adding a genre for easier searching & categorizing, then organized them by that genre them. Ex: 181.fm Smooth Jazz became Jazz 181.fm Smooth Jazz This way all of my "genres" are alphabetical and searching is easier, I just press 5 for J (jazz). SN is supposed to be adding editable/customizable "sub favorites" categories for our use so we can organize our favorites in say 10 separate folders as we see fit. For me making 10 different "genre" folders would make a LOT of sense and is long overdue. But this is just a future plan for SN, not available now even in beta. Hope this helps. :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43701 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
