Well, all I have done so far is to navigate the menu's. For instance if I want to play all of my rock and roll tunes, they are grouped that way in a play list. One button does it all for me. I have several buttons on my Alpine remote that are unused for anything on the Empeg so I remapped them to do that. With the Long key presses working you can add that functionality to almost any of the buttons though. The only problem is remember what does what what.
