I've looked back over this thread, and I'm a bit worried that all of the trouble you went to might have been because of a mistake I made very early on in the thread.

As I understand it, you want to be able to directly call up a playlist on the player without scrolling though menus. Right? So you've gone to a lot of trouble to print out a list of FIDs and then Mark implemented a new feature to let you punch in the FID directly.

All this time I'm thinking that you can find stuff easier on the player with its alphanumeric search feature, so why go to all the trouble of printing out a list. I'm worried that maybe it's because I said I didn't think there was an alphanumeric *playlist* search. I just checked, and there is. You press the Search button enough times on the remote and there it is.

So could all of the above be made a lot easier by just pressing the "search" button on the remote enough times to get to the search by playlists feature?
