After playing with my new unit and digging through all the documentation both online and what came with it, I realised there is still no time remaining option. Above all else, this is my wish for the unit. I don't know why, but I prefer everything to use a time remaining timer whenever possible.

I agree completely. I would love to be able to see TimeRemaining/TimeElapsed/TotalPlaylistTime/etc. I think the problem is that the Player doesn't know how long a track is when it starts up. You can't always tell with filesize, although you could scan the file for number of frames (?).
It seems this falls under the same catagory as automatic volume normalizing, in that the only way to get the information is to read the file at least once first.
