It would make it easier to alter the volume while playing a game w/o having to pause the game and go to a different screen to adjust the volume.

The main thing I like is the fact that you can select music, and change play lists and such without ending the game... on my ipod when I used to play parachute, I'd have to quit and restart to put on a new song... it was quite annoying. Has anyone found a video from this event or anything? I'd love to see how it actually works... I was just looking at this on zuneboards, and this sounds awesome!
