That was my first thought too (since nothing pops into mind for that
button), but then I thought there might be another way that would be
relatively intuitive (provided the onscreen display indicated where you
were in the "play mode" cycle) and at the same time require fewer buttons.

While playing, "Play" currently just starts the song at the beginning
again (which can be accomplished by hitting the REV (<<)  button right?)
Hitting it multiple times could look like:

Play album/song
loop:	Repeat album/song
	Repeat song (if album)
	No Repeat


Of course, if you navigate away, it takes on it's normal role again.

Having it serve a context-sensitive dual purpose might also help out if
the plan is to give the SliMP3 it's own lighter remote at some point too.

Thoughts? Worth a shot?
