But surely you have to take your eyes off the road to examine your printed list.

Or are you saying that your friends can look at the list and then tell you which number to type in?


That could work. Here, I do find it much easier to have a printed list of the tunes, for passengers to browse and select from, than trying to explain the software interface to them.

Think of the printout as a multi-thousand line external display for the empeg, compared with the single-line display used by the playlist programmer in the software. And the external display is much more readable in bright light, too. smile

EDIT: The empeg software interface is really good when one *knows* what they want to listen to. But it's not great for browsing the collection to "find something suitable".

That's a difficult thing to crack on any small display.

Cheers
