The controller makes a lot of things very easy, but some things a lot more difficult than with the standard remote.
I guess most of you know this video demo from macworld: http://junkpedia.com/2008/01/19/logitech-duet-review/ At 6:00 the guy that does the demo is asked to randomize the playlist. The smooth smoothly progressing demo immediately breaks down while he scrambles to find the shuffle setting. I feel there should be a better and more convenient way to switch shuffle modes, something I do a lot. If I change the shuffle mode, I have to navigate all the way back to where I was before (usually in the music folder tree) and the Controller (unlike the SB3) doesn't remember the path previously taken. Another very important function is switching the player off. It's something we do a lot and something we do when we don't have a lot of time available. You're leaving the house and you want to switch the music off at the last moment. With the controller that means pressing 'Home', scrolling all the way down (which requires attention) and than clicking the player off option. I feel this should be quicker and easier, something like holding the 'Pause' button switches the player off. (I know that's stop at the moment, but who uses that?) The SB3 remote functions can be changed by changing the IR files, but the Controller does not do IR. Is there (or will there be) a way to customize the buttons on the Controller? Will it be possible to customize the Controller menus?
