taking the remote out of the pack would reduce the cost by only a couple of £//$. It would also mean they needed another pack for the remote which would probably cost £//$20 on it's own, if not more because of the logistics and non BoM (Bill of Materials) costs. don't think about it as being forced to buy a battery and a remote, you buy a battery and get a free remote. for those just looking for a remote, there are other options, all the other Squeezebox remotes will work, so will a harmony or even a universal remote that has Squeezebox codes or a JVC DVD player mode (this is legacy support because the very first player, the SliMP3, came with a universal remote and the server responded to JVC DVD codes). -- funkstar my collection: *1*x squeezebox radio *1*x squeezebox touch *1*x squeezebox boom *2*x controller, *1*x receiver *2*x sb3 (sliver/black), *1*x sb2 wired (silver) *1*x sb (black), *1*x slimp3 (with rear shield) interested in any others if you have them! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75628
