I DID check all the available backlight settings and I still do miss the previously described feature. The reason behind is simple. Occasionally at night, when going from one place to another, I simply can't see much what's on the display. So if I can't see very well, chances are quite slim that I will find the settings for backlight. Also, I prefer to have the backlights off by default to save energy, so I can use the music play function of this player.. Therefor I need some kind of hotkey to turn the lights on and off WITHOUT browsing the settings. During playback the select button doesn't do much when pressed for a long time - this one could be used to toggle the backlights. Maybe even SELECT + (NEXT or PREV). Cheers, Alex P.S.: Please don't reply directly, use the mailinglist. Unless it is something you want only me to know. -- shakespeare: /(bb|[^b]{2})/
