Re: Audiotron 30k limit/Streaming media (was SliMP3 Ethernet MP3 Pla yer)

Stuart,

I was actually expecting replies about the streaming side of things 
rather than the screaming mad side of things :-)

Anyway, in response to your message:

The Audiotron has a dial on the right that you use to select Artist, 
Genre, Playlist etc.
Having dialed to 'Artist' and selected it, you then get an option of 
all music or by Album, so you select by album and get a list of 
albums.
Select the album and then you can play it all or select an individual 
song.

This works quite well I think, is fairly intuitive, and you can get 
where you want quite quickly.  
For those of you with large collections and worried about RSI, the 
faster you turn the knob, the further through the list it jumps.

A folder view on anything less than a 640x480 display would be 
somewhat of a nightmare methinks!

Well I did warn initially that it was a bit heavy! 
If I had actually attacked the Audiotron for it's limit in the 
support group rather than simply ask if there was a way around it, 
then it could easily be the start of a flame war as the post seems to 
be a bit of a hostile defence of an imaginary attack :-/
