2. I have found that even with a flat battery the charging display does not appear sometimes, as per the circumstances described. It just goes straight to a plug icon.

Out of interest I found when the player is switched off the battery is still charging.

One wish would be for a charging icon to display when the player is off but the battery is charging and/or for the dock light to cycle as per the dock settings.

3. Do Rio seem to respond to wishlist items from this group? It seems that some of the Rio staff post here, which is wonderful to see.
