Topic: Shortcuts to music (FM, podcasts, etc)

I just got my chumby one, and it's really cool. The level of customization available for alarms is fantastic.

One gripe I have is that in order to access any type of music requires a large amount of clicking. For example, to get to FM radio, I have to go through 9 taps of the screen to hit the play button. It would be really neat if I could replace buttons on the main config panel, with an array of presets or something.

e.g., Replace the "Send" button with preset 1, or something, that will let me play FM 95.9, and replace the "Rate" button with preset 2, to go to Pandora Radio, etc.

use cases:
- Early in the morning, brain isn't functioning yet, want to listen to some Pandora
- Trouble sleeping, don't feel like reaching over and picking up the chumby off the bed stand, and trying to click through the menus without wearing glasses
- Quick access to presets, like most other clock radios smile

Keep up the awesome work, chumby developers

Here is a "magic file" which enables you to reorder the listing of music sources.  You can then move your favorite sources to the top of the list.  Helps a bit...
