I desperately want support for the 2.4 tags, [particularly the separate
search order tags (TSOP?). That way I can have Bob Marley & the Wailers
grouped with Bob Marley, both of which come up under M, not B.

If you've got the horsepower, volume control on the remote for the digital
out would be nice. My old school mid-fi pre-amp doesn't do the remote
control thing.

Slightly out of the way feature I love about the AT: Selecting everything
plays _entire_albums_ in a random order. It can easily be set to tracks
randomly by using the random button.

I use the interface on the unit itself 95% of the time, and that interface
has to be responsive and intuitive (read "wife friendly.")

I've never used the headphone jack, and if you are aiming at audiophiles,
they will prefer a separate headphone amp anyway.
