Description Matthew J. Martin 2008-02-27 10:49:18 UTC
'Name' field without hint is confusing. 

It's not entirely clear to a novice that this is a user-defined value as opposed to something they have to hunt for. 

Suggest adding hint: "Name your player to easily identify it - for example: 'Living Room', 'Bedroom', 'Joe's Squeezebox'." 

Note that there is already a string id for this: 'PLAYER_NAME_INPUT_HINT'. Currently that string reads: "ex. Kitchen, Joe's Squeezebox, or something descriptive."
