The standard control setup doesn't seem very functional to me since it won't skip tracks (Or maybe I just dont know how to do it)

Interesting. I'd think that would be one of the most basic features of the thing. I don't have one myself, so I can't check, but I can't imagine that they'd leave it out of the stalk command set.

I know the stalk has bits that "twist", not just buttons, and I know it has something akin to a "shift" function, where you hold down the shift key and then all the buttons work differently. Maybe it's one of those things that's requred to make that work?

The details on the interface found here seem to indicate that track+/- is part of the command set, so I'm sure it's do-able somehow.

Also... What version of the software are you running?
