Sounds like fine motor skills are limited? A switch enabled mp3 player is probably what you need. There are adapter(s) that interface with (older) iPods or dedicated switch players. If a computer is the desired option then you could pair it with a darci switch box + switches + some morse code

I love volume control the way you have it. I hope you don't remove the slider. I've often wondered why SB Touch doesn't have an option to show the year of the album on the default Now Playing screen. I would love to see it on iPeng. -

@epoch You should give the group volume slider a try. It's not a fixed volume changer but changes each players volume based on its current volume level. It works surprisingly well. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevice

On players with a one line display (Squeezeboxes, Transporter, Boom) you can customise the display e.g. TRACKNUM. TITLE - ARTIST - ALBUM (YEAR) But it seems that on players with a three line display (Radio, Controller, etc.) you get three fixed lines TITLE, ARTIST, ALBUM with no way to customise.
