My demonstration playlist starts out with "Tom Sawyer" by Rush, with that incredible percussive crash at the beginning of the track.

Unfortunately, when you first power it up, it starts playing from wherever you left off, rather than starting from the beginning of a playlist... But I definitely see your point.

I guess you could hit play, and then pull out the unit really quickly, but you still risk missing that first note, and that just won't do. For the full effect, you need to have every bit of it.

Perhaps another feature request? A way to make it start playing from the beginning of a certain playlist on next boot up? Might be interesting. Especially if you could through some random elements in there.

Anyway, to get the effect you're looking for, I guess all you really have to do, is have the empeg on, with the playlist already setup, and just hit play with the remote...

Right when they sit down...

Yeah... That might work...
