Thanks Peter.  The "When Stopped" mode isn't all that important to me. 
The "When Playing" and "When Off" are what I'd like to use.  At first I
was confused about making the default SS with a timer, but I think I
understand your point now.

When working, the buttons seemed easy enough to work properly.  The
timed default me be the entire issue.  I'm crossing my fingers.

Have a great weekend,

Howard
