One thing I have noticed several times about the volume control is the use of the < > buttons and the knob to control the volume. This has been a slight problem when I adjust the volume with the knob and then immediatly go to change the song with the < > buttons. After the volume adjust window comes up the < > buttons can control the volume. I have to wait for the volume window to go away before I can change the song. On the mark 2 there really is no need for the < > buttons to control the volume because on both the faceplate and the remote there is specific controls for the volume and the forward/backward song. I think the < > buttons should just be reserved for stuff other than volume since the knob or the remote have seperate control of the volume.
I think this may have come around because of the volume adjustment of the mark 1 but it seems to get in the way on the mark 2.

Argh! I made a similar complaint a few months ago, and everybody shot me down.

My complaint was in relation to the volume control on the remote rather than the knob, but it's the same behavior.

Agree. Looks like a left-over from beta 11 or so, when the < > buttons were duplicating the volume knob.

I agree. This has bitten me several times today (day 2 of ownership).

One thing you can do is press the button part of the volume knob when you're done adjusting the volume. This will end that mode immediately.

But < > still need to not cause volume change.
