Features are too hard to find!
Inconsistent use of the buttons to accomplish things in the different screens, do you tap, press or press and hold? Do you have to press another button at the same time?

The UI of the original Rockbox was far easier to use! Hands down!
That is why when I get frustrated and need a feature fast I load the old firmware. I would rather have a structured well thought out tree menu that you can intuitively navigate without a manual to activate each feature as needed.
