Ideas for how the Elite 300 SD Card functionality could work alot better

Further to my last post about the firmware upgrade, i think there are a couple of interrelated simple fixes in the upgrade that could really improve the SD Card functionality which, frankly as it stands, is a bit crappy.

a) Support SDHC cards - i.e any SD card over 4GB;

b) Allow detection of more than one MP3 track;

c) Once you have selected the SD Card as the Audio source, allow the use of the Tuning buttons to select different tracks, which you could then tune into the different presets. This would allow you to wake up to one track, and go to sleep to another;

d) Allow repeating of selected track. You could select this when cycling through the Audio Source menu options with the S button;

e) Enable reading of playlists - i.e you can put a playlist file on the SD card, and the clock will pick it up and play the tracks on the SD card on the playlist.

I work in IT, and i have a friend who deals with hardware firmware upgrades, and he feels all of these changes would be easy to implement in a firmware upgrade.

Thank you for your comments, we will pass this to our Technical Manager for his comments.
