A way to go back to the playlist currently playing without having to navigate the entire tree from the root

I know a really good way to do that, too... although it would cause a (solvable) problem with the Mark I players.

Instead of having the top button be "Pause" during playback, make the top button act like it does when you are navigating playlists: go up one level in the hierarchy.

Use the push-button aspect of the rotary knob to go into "Pause" mode.

This would not only add uniformity to the UI, but would be a very logical mode of operation.

The Mark I problem could be solved by giving a setup option to make the top button be a Pause button or a "Climb the hierarchy" button at the user's choice.

Now if the guys@empeg would only move the Track#/Duration information from the bottom line of the display to the top line of the display... I'd be able to read the first word of my song title.
