Guess I've been missing some features. What is this "Hate Next" and "Match Artist" stuff?

Ah, well, for people who find it insufficiently challenging to remember all the principal functions of the remote, there are a few other functions on the number buttons. To see them at their best, you need to be in Now&Next Visual.

8 = replace next song with another upcoming song from the playlist at random ("Hate Next")

2 = replace next song with another upcoming song from the playlist by the same artist as the current song ("Match Artist"). If you keep on pressing Match Artist, it'll change the next-but-one, next-but-two, and so on until you run out of songs by that artist.

3 = Match Source (i.e. Match Album)

5 = Match Genre

6 = Match Year

(and 0 = Shuffle on/off, while we're at it)

I can never remember these, I had to look up the numbers in the source code. The New Remote will have them labelled.

I asked Mike whether there was logic behind that layout and he said "Ah, it goes Artist, Source, Genre, Year; they're in the order they appear in Emplode, except without the 1 and 4 keys".

The 1 and 4 keys don't do anything because people fumbling in the dark for the volume buttons on their remotes might have them the wrong way round.
