I can see the use of large format numerals from the standpoint that there are plugins, etc, that will treat the buttons as something other than "presets". For example, mapping one of the buttons to cycle through sleep timer intervals on the device (I actually think that turning the main knob left would be perfect for this purpose, then turn the knob right to change the now playing screen). However it is done, the radio should *immediately* communicate to the user that it knows a preset button has been selected, then followed by additional logic that tells the user that some activity is happening, or the name of the preset as stored server side, etc. As it is now it is too slow and has too poor of a user interaction to be completely reliable. As mentioned earlier, I select a preset button for a playlist file and it is quite a few seconds before anything happens on screen or audibly. I could even the introduction of a "hold music" stream that streams to the box before the actual audio starts playing. Sounds kinda retro, and most people probably would hate it! ;) -- jmpage2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70268 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
