I still think it's silly to have to be changing modes on a device this smart anyway.

I mean, what's the real difference between selecting a radio station preset and selecting an mp3? I think that it should all be controlled not just from menus that are always in the same place, but from the same menu. Or, at the very least, have the radio menu and the playlists menu always available. If you select a radio station, it should be smart enough to change to radio mode. If you select an mp3, it should switch back.

Obviously, you'd have to have some way to manipulate the radio when your presets aren't enough (like when you've driven to another radio coverage area), but 99% of the time, you're gonna be using the same presets over and over.
