1. The FAQ describes the possibilities for third-party remotes. It's a big FAQ, but every word is worth its weight in gold.
  2. Played counter goes up when 5 seconds of a track is played. It annoys me that my player thinks that short tracks of less than 5 seconds have never been played The skipped counter is never incremented in the current version of the player - that functionality is planned for future releases.
  3. You get the wandering "Synchronizing" text when the display is on, and not when the player is asleep.
  4. I don't recommend cutting blocks off either end of an MP3 stream, as data for a sound sample can come from other blocks (the so-called "bit reservoir"). If you turned off the bit reservoir when encoding (again, not recommended), you shouldn't have problems. It's best to do such trimming with the source material before encoding.
  5. There's no easy way to have Artist in the Now & Next info mode. It has been requested, but currently your only option is to include identifying information in the song title, I'm afraid. Same goes for playlist menus.
  6. Don't know.
  7. Don't know - I don't often use Swap.
