I like that radio screen. Very nice. The Empeg's current radio screen definitely needs an update, and that's a pretty good one.

The visualization ideas don't turn me on because they don't relate to the music. I like visualizations that do something based on a waveform or spectrum display of the music. Even the vis modules that only pulse with the beat don't excite me very much. But that's just my personal opinion.

The big icons on the left are very nice, too. If done properly, they could allow the user to navigate via peripheral vision while driving. But, as you've discovered, you can't have those big icons unless the menu scrolls vertically.

In theory, the vertically-oriented menu looks more logical than the current horizontally-oriented one. But in practice I like their horizontal one the best. The empeg has a vertical scroll when you search by title or artist, and I don't like it as much as the horizontal playlist scrolling.
