This is a great app!, I've already installed it before the fixes stated above.
How do I intsall these fixes? Do I need to delete what I have and just download the new package? If so how do I do that?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Just to add, I deleted the database files, unistalled and then reinstalled. It seems fine.

Wish I hadn't mislaid my stylus though, man those menu options are small!

Re: Porting rockbox to n900

It's great to see Rockbox again after my H340 was stolen in London 3 years ago. I loved that brick :)

Back then Rockbox couldn't read album art from mp3/ogg tags and apparently this doesn't work with this port right now. Will it ever work or do I have to create cover.bmp's like in the (good) old days?

Happy New Year!

Re: Porting rockbox to n900

thomasjfox this app rocks. Thanks!

And now a few feature requests (if possible to implement of course.)

One thing I miss from the stock media player is the ability to open the keyboard and type to search the name of the song or artist you want to listen to. Can it be done?

And can it support portrait mode?

Rockbox is up there amongst the best players on ANY platform, let alone the portable devices it runs on.

can't wait to feeling it

Re: Porting rockbox to n900

FINALLY, a player for the N900 that allows me to alter the pitch and tempo independantly (or at all for that matter)! I've been carrying around a rockbox'd Sansa for that purpose, but now it's looking like I'll only need to carry one device. In a perfect world I'd vote that we'd get (non-keyboard) hardware buttons for track navigation (I'd even prefer that the volume buttons be repurposed for prev/next track rather than volume, since I change tracks far more often than I change the volume, but I suspect that opinion is in the minority.) I really just want to be able to easily navigate tracks while driving without taking my eyes off the road and without sliding out the keyboard... maybe the camera button is more feasible.

Re: Porting rockbox to n900

I guess my own usage frequency would be volume, next track and pause, in that order. So that would be zoom keys, cam button half press & full press respectively.

Maybe that can be made configurable ? I don't think the power button can be used on a per-app basis, that would have been another option.

Re: Porting rockbox to n900

First trip to work with gapless playback on n900... I'd really like to have some spare time to join in and add support for the play/pause/fwd/rev buttons of my bluetooth headset. Also need a button to close the app :)
