Doh. That's what my wife thinks too, and she's the one who will be
using this puppy, not me!
STOP should mean STOP.
Dean, I think you are on the right track in how the STOP button
should behave, but I think it should be modeled after WinAmp (for
example.) When you press STOP, the current song stops playing and the
playlist continues to point to _that_ song (I don't think you should
reset to the first song in the playlist.) Pressing PLAY will start
playing _that_ song from the beginning of the song (that is the
difference between pause and stop.)

and the remembering which songs have been played while in random mode?
Did I miss a thread on how or if random play was or is going to be
implemented?
We already have shuffle/random mode. Press the OK button and items
in the playlist become shuffled. Press it again and they become
unshuffled. When the playlist is shuffled and you add songs to the
playlist the list gets shuffled again to mix them in.

When you are playing while in shuffled mode and press STOP, the
current song stays the same. If you press PLAY, it starts playing
that song again.

We don't specifically keep track of which songs have been played
while in random/shuffle mode, except by having a list of songs that
is shuffled and any song before the current one has probably been
played. (Probably, because you might skip around...)
Jacob,
can I chip in and suggest that unlike winamp, when you press stop in
the middle of randomly
playing from a playlist, the slimp3 remembers which songs have
played from that playlist? I find
the winamp behavious of forgetting this very annoying.
Yeah. What I checked it just now was that STOP now stops playing the
current song, keeps that song as the current song and jumps you to
that point in the playlist. If you press PLAY then, it starts up
that song again.
The playlist isn't lost anymore, nor is your place in the playlist.
And it feels right.

Did I miss something...
The STOP button behavior isn't right. The problem is that
the notion of stop doesn't really make any sense with the SliMP3.
STOP should mean STOP.
Dean, I think you are on the right track in how the STOP button should
behave, but I think it should be modeled after WinAmp (for example.) When
you press STOP, the current song stops playing and the playlist continues to
point to _that_ song (I don't think you should reset to the first song in
the playlist.) Pressing PLAY will start playing _that_ song from the
beginning of the song (that is the difference between pause and stop.)
