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.
