No problem I just got mine and at first I thought the same thing but just after a few days of playing around with it I've figured out a lot of cool things so i'm loving it now!
Another tip as far as the pause/play feature. There is a way to pause it but you need to go to the function menu to do it so here's what i do and it works great!
If you need to pause your music just hold the source button for 2 seconds and it turns the audio off and pauses your ipod or cd. then just tap source again to start your music again. Simple!
