I agree.

I agree again. But the Player buttons are a serious problem. They are simply
too few, and their placement is very silly. You can't use the play and stop
buttons to scroll up and down because they are marked with Play and Stop
symbols. That takes a lot of getting used to, and i fear that Rockbox can't
do much different. That sucks.
