IMHO I think you can learn either way. But it is probably no big
deal. Kjell and I had fun doing it since at the spot where you have
selected a value then we have lots of keys available begging to be
used. Menu, stop and play will, as I get the proposal, all three be
used for selecting the value once changed. But maybe we can make
better use of them somehow?

Anyway we should also pay attention to how the Recorder works. I think
that common key bindings for common things between the units is a good
thing as long as we keep them close. Easier to move between units and
simpler code.

If the recorder moves out in a direction where the Player simply can't
follow I think we might have to rethink the UI completely.

After all the Player UI is similar to the Archos UI. There might be
something completely different that we haven't thought of because we
have been mentally blocked by the Archos UI or UIs of other units.

Well there should be an Aprils fools thing next year to right ;-)
