    Return to Now Playing from Menu

    Is there a way to return to the Now Playing screen from the menu system without backing to the main menu and selecting "Now Playing"?

    Press the "M" button a few times to shift to menu and then now playing.

    I don't think that's what Pony means...
    but its true that in the settings menu you can activate or deactivate the "now playing" option to show up in the main menu...
    you still have to click it though... there doesn't seem to be a way to jump immediately from the menu to the now playing title and underlying play lists.
    If you press "now playing"it gives you the song that's playing, if you press M then it unfortunately wont give you the playlist you were playing but the menu again...

    know what i mean?

    If you already have pressed the "M" button a few times, why not press it once more, instead of moving your finger to select "now playing"...

    Exactly... beatmore is correct. When you are in the main menu, just press the M button once more to go to Now Playing.

    In fact, I disable the "Now Playing" and "Backlight" menus, so that there is no scrollbar when it is in the Main menu. It is more convenient this way.

    Beatmore is right.

    It's funny that, even after several months of using, people get to know more and more functions.

    What I would like to be able to do is return to the "Now Playing" screen without going all the way back up through the menu system. Then if I press the menu button again, it should take me back to the menu I was at when I left it.

    I think pressing the "Play/Pause" button would be logical to go from anywhere in the menu system to the "Now Playing" screen.

    I've done the same!
    Don't need to change backlight settings so often...
