Several other issues (more general, not tied to Beta7):

1. Battery usage. Mplayer shortens battery life, I wonder how xine is doing in that field. While I don't like default Nokia apps they hit one thing perfectly - power usage. Built-in media player is very power efficient. Would it be possible to switch to it automatically for supported formats?

2. Another issue bothering me for long time. When "escaping" from track I land into playlist/album view and don't know in what part of playlist I am. IMO currently played track should be highlighted AND for few seconds slider should be shown for better orientation. Current track should be placed in middle of screen or second to show context.

3. To identify albums Canola uses combination of album title AND artist which leads to absurd effects. For example soundtrack of Shrek 2 is shown in Canola as 13 albums! The same applies to albums where are invited guests etc.

4. Scrolling is erratical. Everything works well with light load of device, but with anything going into background (or sometimes even just playing) IT has problems with detection of events and the only way to scroll without accidentally entering selection is use of "safe zone" on the left. Problem is this area is too narrow to comfortably use. Sure, it is wider than corresponding widgets in rest of Hildon interface but it is narrower than similar elements of Canola. This area should be wider AND on both sides.
