Thanks Nikosapi. This is nice. Heres some feedback - btw, would you rather have feedback here or in the bug reports section?

These are against 0.3-pre0.4-2
Bugs:

* Mute no longer works.

* In the Playlist Item details screen the filename is truncated for long paths. Could this put on 2 lines?

* The Custom title in the playlist can be changed, but the custom title & title on the info tab always seem to be the same! Seems a bit pointless. Perhaps one of thes could be removed - that would give space for the filename to cover 2 lines.

* The info Image field shows a hex character if there is an image. Is this just for debugging? It's not very informative.

Suggestions

* The playlist add directory shouldn't show empty directories. Better still, put the number of audio fies at the left of directory name (at the left since the filename may be long)

* Save current playlist should be renamed to 'Save current playlist As'. My rationale is that there's no reason to use it unless you want to Save a specific list since the current playlist will be autosaved on close or change anyway, which is really nice.

* I like the player/playlist organisation but I personally think the extra space taken up by the new tabs wastes space. After all, I can get to the playlist/bookmarks with a long press of the bookmark button - great functionality btw. Also, since the current playing item is highlighted, another press in the same physical location (=Jump to button) will restart the player. ie. repeated (long) pressing on the bookmarks location should toggle between playlist and player anyway. So my suggestion is to remove the tabs if dual action buttons is enabled.

Thanks again for the update. Hope this helps improve things even further.


PS - Does (should?) hardware decoding save battery life?
