Been using MediaBox extensively for past few weeks now and I thought I'd give my +'s and -'s here for some creative discussion perhaps. And don't take this wrong, it is the best audio player for the N900 currently since the built in is just mindbogglingly screwed up and everything else I tried lacked some basic functionality.
+ Folder playing
+ Playlist creation
+ Calling FM boost to up the transmitting level
- Bloated with features for my using purposes (Mp3-playing)
- Slow to load up (could be due bloat issues? I have auto-index off so it ain't that)
- Cryptic GUI (for real, accessing basic stuff is behind oh so many levels of choices, I want to open the player and hit play to continue precisely from where I left off instead of going home, selecting folder/playlist , browsing for a song from the list and then finally hitting play, then going top menu to enable FM transmitter (when I'm in my car) and clicking broadcast on)
This led me to hope for a UI revamp OR a spinoff version, call it "AudioBox" or whatever, but a stripped down version which would directly open into the last used playlist or folder and magnified playing buttons in the main screen, and the ability to see few previous/next tracks and easily toggle FM transmitter on/off. It would all fit perfectly on the N900 screen but as is the humongous note button is just taking all the space and little buttons are placed on the edges of the screen.
I could photoshop a few suggestions of the creator of MediaBox is interested in this type of spinoff and/or GUI revamp?
