for the record, i for one am quite satisfied with the media player. i don't experience lag when browsing and listening to music (even on heavier sites like derstandard.at).

i don't have a problem with the sorting or anything either, because i tend to keep my music organized in albums and hand-tagging them anyways. that's just the most efficient option when your music gets distributed over several devices, because usually none of them is consistent in the way they handle files...

i'd appreciate a decent EQ, but that's about it.

maybe the performance problems some people experience aren't due to the media player at all, but to other installed apps?
