I’d love to be able to use my TR2MP as an MP3 player with the lid closed - a few buttons (and maybe a jog dial) on the side of the laptop to play/pause and step forward and back between songs would mean that I could have my TR in my bag, with buttons facing upwards and a headphone lead coming out.

This might facilitate your over sized MP3 player concept.

Yes, with that controller you can listen to your MP3s while your lid is closed. It can also control a ton of applications beyond Music.

Well worth the $50 charge.

That looks like what I want, thanks. The next question is - where can I find one (that will ship to the UK)?

Not 100% sure, but I don’t think so.
