I just can't reproduce it, all the songs are displayed fine on my device. :c I also looked at the code and it appears to be UTF8-safe, so I am quite confused now.

Hmmm... it certainly sounds interesting, especially considering that Echoprint seems to be already in the repositories.

Tracker can be really annoying (ignoring NoIndexFileTypes) and for some reason it doesn't index my *.ogm files

There are some limitations (multi-CD albums being my "favorite"), but I think that keeping a separate database is straying too far from the path. OGM is a deprecated format, does N900 even play that?

I tried to make OMP nicely cooperate with a file browser ("Open whole folders" and "Append opened songs" in the settings menu) as a substitute for an integrated browser, but I am aware that it's still not as convenient as it could be, so the browser is very likely to come.

I think it handles all of them, that is... none.

Things like opening files are handled through D-Bus. Speaking of missing functionality in this area, most notable is opening audio streams in the video window. Have you made OMP the default media player (as described in the wiki: http://wiki.maemo.org/Open_Media_Player)? If not, it could be the reason of Zoutube failing.

After a few suggestions I thought that simple as this is the best, feel free to include them in the package.

Changing the color of the original icon was the first thing that came to my mind when I decided to provide an icon, but the second was that it's owned by Nokia. That's why I think I'm not free to include it after all. I'll probably upload a few bugfixes tomorrow and modify the old icon a bit, so it looks shinier.

If someone considers it ugly, I'm open to suggestions, but make sure it doesn't belong to someone else. And of course it's possible to change the icon on your own, simply replace "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/openmediaplayer.png".
