I currently use the Duet remote to control my MW Transporter, but I'm considering adding some sort of universal remote so that I can also control my other equipment, including volume control of my integrated amp. I really want to continue to have the display of album art on the remote. I've done a bit of 'net research, but wanted to check with those of you that have been using the Transporter much longer as to available options.
I've read that Ted b is or has used the Pronto TSU 9400, along with the added software 'prontosqueeze', and from what I can tell, this option would work and I would still have album artwork displayed on the remote. Any comments on how well this works? Does the remotes screen 'time out' to display album artwork only after a period?
Are there other available options that I'm missing? I'm somewhat surprised that Logitech's universal remotes don't seem to easily (at least from what I've been able to find) accomplish this, especially since their Duet remote displays album artwork (but I can't control the volume of my integrated with the Duet remote)....maybe I'm just misunderstanding how the Logitech/Harmony wifi remotes work...
Cost is an issue; I'm not going to spring for the $1750-2000 range remotes even if they do perform as I want.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
