But making the recorder software exactly behave like the player (concerning the buttons), the additional buttons wouldn't be used! And I want to use them. I think that it will be the usual way that the recorder has some features on it's additional buttons and the player has this functions in the config menu. How would you otherwise make use of the recorder buttons without giving up these functions on the player? I'd prefer the right button as it is now (same in player and recorder) and the play button my "starting with random file" (only on recorder). Bye, Uwe.
