well i looks good. but im not sure about the interface...

there is no real way to browse the playlist without skipping songs.

also, that the up, down and center dpad acts on the file interface while one is looking at the playlist or some other part is potentially bad interface design.

oh, and the playlist shows no data below the currently playing song.

the back button seems to work like the center dpad.

oh, and i have a dir of songs. but when i try to enter it to add from them, the player tries to add the whole dir as a single song. and then, when i try to play it, the player crashes.

im tempted to say that the interface should go something like this:

up and down key scrolls the currently focused interface tab.

left and right changes between tabs.

center dpad adds a song to the playlist if in dir tab, starts or stops playback in playlist.

or it may be that its all habit, i find the interface growing on me as i play with it right now.

oh, and im guessing you play to have the playlist jump to next song when the currently playing has ended? and maybe have the list, optionally, start over when completed. also optionally, random playback of the playlist.
