Re: Soundbridge 1000 is in the house!

First flaw.  It apparently can't pass ripped DTS music!  That means the 
AIFF files are being altered somehow before being passed through the 
optical output.  I presume that is related to the volume control being 
functional.  I would like a passthrough mode for AIFF files where the 
volume control is not active and DTS data can make it through 
unaltered.  (The Airport Express does this just fine).

I keep getting caught up having to select a playlist instead of just 
pressing play when over it.  I think the play button should work when a 
playlist name is highlighted, especially if shuffle is active so you 
can start at a random song.  As it is, we have the same problem we have 
with the roku where you have to dig into the playlist and choose the 
starting song before it will start shuffling.

You can't even press play when a song title is highlighted, you have to 
select it again. And choose "Play playlist starting with".

Other than that, I'm still in awe, watching the flashing blue lights.
