How does this play, does it cut off the currently playing song? Does it come out of another speaker? I don't really see the point of this either at home where you can just start a song playing and skip it if you don't like it or in a commercial environment where you wouldn't hear it over the main music.

I would find that annoying if someone kept playing 7 second samples, i assume that it also only works if there is no random song playing... To be honest it would be pretty easy to impliment but I don't think it's worth while. I don't see anytime anyone would want to use it, seems like they were out of ideas for an update and just put it in to have a feature no one else had without really thinking if there was any benefit to having it in there. To be honest we have things like this in E-Touch already that are of limited use but i think this is of no use to anyone.

It would work best if it previewed exclusively or by choice through a headset. That way people looking for songs could listen in without it interrupting currently play tracks. Kind of like what they used to have in music stores.
