Well, the iPod achieves this through having a big button (the one in the middle) with NO label on it! (Does that constitute "zero affordance", or "infinite affordance"? :-) ) Press-and-hold will add to the on-the-go list, unless you're *in* the on-the-go-list, in which case it will remove it. (Aside: since a single press of the Big Button means "enter" (e.g. view artist's albums, album's tracks), I find it all too easy to hold the button a tad too long, and accidentally add tons of stuff to on-the-go when I didn't mean to. It's a real pain to recover from this!) (Aside 2: and I only recently realised that the Play button on the iPod is similar to the Squeezebox's - pressing Play on an item will (usually) make it replace whatever's in Now Playing. I say "usually" because I can't recall whether if music is actually playing, it will pause it instead.) I suppose on the SBC (and IR remote) when in Now Playing, you should think of "(hold-)+" as "add this track to the set of tracks not in Now Playing" :-) So, how *can* I use the SBC or the IR remote to move a track in Now Playing so that it's next? Before my Duet arrived I'd somehow assumed that the controller would make it easy to rearrange Now Playing, though heavens knows how I thought it might work!
