I bought my rio receiver from a garage sale and didn;t get a remote Sounds like a remote is a pretty key piece to this whole thing, I still wish that there was some way to adjust navigation, simply because the display is so small you really have to be in front of the silly thing to select your songs anyway... That plus a remote can be misplaced and/or lost and it seems pretty crazy to tie key navigation features to a non tethered remote.

Don't get me wrong, I like having a full featured remote. If only it was part of the interface as well.

I've seen the cool navigation that trio and others have come up with and really think it wouldn't be too hard to navigate alphabet >> artist >> album >> track... Maybe I am wrong. But it sure would be nice...
