I'm using the NP1100 for some time now (using MediaTomb as upnp-server running on a NSLU2) and I really like this little device. There are some things that bug me though and that's why I'd like to post a wishlist for future enhancements (firmware updates) here:

+ add support for flac directly (without the need to transcode)
+ add support for ogg format

The display is scrolling very slowly. Which means that if a track is playing and I'm searching for the next track to play I cannot see the whole title of the track I'm looking for because after some time (waiting for the display slowly scrolling the title I want to play next) the display is jumping back to the song currently playing. This makes it impossible to search for long titles in Rhapsody while a song is playing.
So here's the idea:

+ add "fast scroll" to a key press (e.g. the next-button) when displaying a song title that is not currently playing. I.e. on a "next" key press the display of the song title should jump by a couple of characters (or the whole display-length) to the left.

I STRONGLY second the FLAC support.

Also one nit for my wife and I is: we like to play sleep music at night using the sleep timer. We dim the display but when the timer turns off the unit the display comes back on, brightly illuminating our previously dark sleep space. We'd like a firmware update to keep the display off in this situation.
