Nice easy GUI and plenty of usability :)

I have tried downloading Enna, nut the application manager informs me that i cannot install it due to a package conflict with libeina0.
Does anyone know how to install Enna, and work around this conflict?

I'm not really ready to start using the CSSU yet...

stock music player is very capable, i love the quick search function. I dont understand why people are so obsessed abt playlists here. I always wanted my cds as digital music and being able to scan and play albums i wanted. Plenty of threads explaining how metadata is kept in n900 and how u should embed album art. It works like a charm

Guess we have very very different ideas of what an mp3 player should do. I hardly even listen to albums. I create playlists and listen to a playlist for my mood. May be several albums of one artist or may be favourite songs from different artists. Or I could listen to all tracks from one genre. Is really annoying listening on N900 and playing a playlist of let's say 50 songs and I get to number 10 and go to do something else. If I switch on the next day and start listening I have to hear the same 10 songs that played previously. Well and truly totally annoying. Apart from that I want the next song to be a suprise. Thanks to the N900 media player I am almost sent back to the stone ages of radio cassettes.

Well, if only I was a programmer... I'd port guayadeque to the N900. For me it has proven to be the best player on desktop (Linux) and I wished, there would be something similar (with that smart play function) and touch-friendly for maemo... one can at least dream of it :o

I dont get WHY they rewrtiten an mediaplayer just to make it opensource. Why not invest this coding in a new player instead with improved stuff in QtQuick instead of an halfdead library like gtk/hildon? That could be easyier to port to meego in the future too.

The Open Media Player uses Qt, not GTK. I guess the reason for not using QtQuick is that it is still in its relative infancy. It is not yet ready for use in a application that is designed to replace the stock media player. The lack of ready-made components is probably another factor. I expect that the team wanted to develop the UI as quickly as possible, making use of their familiarity with Qt Widgets.

But hey, I could be completely wrong. :p ;)

Found my problem. Disabeling extras-devel repositories made the problem go away.
