ICE->Link Feature Request Thread

I was thinking it might me worth starting a feature request thread that we could forward on to Denison. After a limited time with the device here are a few things I would like to see.. I will update with poll with other suggestions as they come in.

1) Genre menu in addition to artist and album. For those of us with a large amount of music this would really help
2) After selecting a album / artist to play, return to the same point in the list when << is used to exit the selection. Currently you go all the way back to the top of the album / artist list.

I'd love to see some sort of jump or page down function while scrolling through long lists or artists or playlists.

This is much easier with NAV, as the NAV dial scrolls as well.

It's a good idea but how would it work? We only have two buttons to play with..

i would like to see the nav dial fully active. scroll and push to select. long push to select the menu option instead of pushing cd 6.

be great if the song title was displayed in the big box on the nav instead of just scrolling back and forth in the top... more display real estate there...

i'm unable to nav scroll through the active playlist...

the nav scroll only works for me in the menu sections but once a playlist is being played i have to use the < and > buttons to move through the playlist.

i have the 2b2 firmware also and everything else works fine.

How about the eas source selector resetting the bus so you can throw the switch without turning the key off?

The Source Selector does not communicate with iBus - so nothing there. I may have a different option for non-DSP users by the end of the year that will be selected via the HU.

Tom, you're making the same mistake that many of us have made when being told what the market wants. You're telling us why you can't do what we want - which affects the value of the data not a whit.

And I wish that the Icelink's Playlist UI was better for the driver, and more precisely mimicked the iPod interface.

It is still far better than the OEm requirement of one predetermined playlist only... but we all know that telling a user to not change discs on a Cd changer while driving is illogical and self-defeating - and the icelink is jus a Cd changer from a function POV.
