For all the money they've put into the physical design, I think the UI is missing some basic features: -- Advancing to next album instead of song ... the Rio/Soul MP3CD players did this by: hit FF, then release, and then hold down FF. This is especially useful in a car or anytime using the remote. -- Changing the rating on the whole album -- Changing the genre on a song or album -- Within a playlist, I'd still like to see by Album, Artist etc. (My playlist aren't really ordered playlists but Smart Playlists as filters by stars and genre) -- For long artist, album and song names, if I pause on it it should scroll These are damn trivial and would improve it's usefullness a lot for those of us who are album- rather than song-centric.
