I'm a big fan of the AK120II user experience as well, but I still have a few suggestions/comments I'd like to share with A&K - but how? Can't seem to find a general customer service/support point of contact on their website and emailing support.inc@iriver.com results in... nothing, actually. No reply.
My niggles/suggestions are these:
- In the status bar at the top of the screen is a pie chart of the battery charge level right next to a numerical representation of the exact same data. Swapping the pie chart to, say, the current volume level would be a whole lot more useful, I think.
- You can change tracks by swiping up or down on the "now playing" screen. Up means next track, down means previous. This is exactly the opposite of the buttons on the side of the unit and the opposite of what would be the logical direction (like if you were skipping through a list of tracks - you'd swipe down to go to the next item)
- Auto power off would be great. Coming from a row of Ibasso players, the AK has them beat on pretty much everything, but I miss one tiny feature: Auto power off. If the player sat unused for 30 minutes (the user could define how long to wait), it would turn off. (not sure if it's there and I've just missed it so far)
- On the home screen, adding the option to show a list by the Album Artist tag instead of just the "Artist" tag would be hugely useful.
