Is there any was presently to control playback over the network? It doesn't seem like there is, which is a real shame. This feature's already "in the code base", right?

Seeing as there's no IR or wired remote, this seems like a necessary feature.

If you could do that through the network socket, and duplicate the display on your dashboard, it would be the ideal all purpose player!

I thought such features existed in Rio Music Manager. I thought you could select and play songs similar to the way it works in Emplode. I don't have a Karma in front of me to try it though.

That'll teach me for saying it without checking it.

Nope.

Any insight into why it doesn't? It doesn't seem like it'd just be forgotten....

Marketing never asked for it, basically. There are other technical reasons that make it hard, but nothing that couldn't be got round.
