I finally got it installed after some problems installing python. It functions great! The scroll is smooth and I am surprised that it even found cover art for some obscure mp3 songs I had. I really like the simple clean interface, no arrows or check mark icons to click to get what you want. Just click the album art. It's wonderful. I do have some hopes for the next version:
- album titles in the main menu are too close to the album below it. It gives you the impression that the title above and the album below correspond. It could obviously be fixed my adjusting the blank spacing in the items.
- a scrub bar of some sort , maybe under the cover art, could be utilized. Honestly, there doesn't need to be two cover art images on the play screen. More function and more info about the track being played would be much nicer.
- it would be cool if I could find out what the "unknown" songs were so I can remove them from my card, so they wouldn't show up in the main list.
- is there a way for it to ignore certain directories? I use maemo mapper and it builds a considerable cache directory that takes **forever** to scan. Canola, UKMP, and anything else that scans cards tend to choke on this directory.
- it would look cooler when you choose a video it plays in the same space as the menu complete with info and scrub bar, then tap once to view full screen. I love mplayer, but hate it's clunky and awkward interface.
- since an album is a group of songs essentially in one meta directory brought together by a database, but my movies and videos aren't. Could there be a way for the user to organize the video section in say, genres? Have a top directory of genres, then each level down has the videos. I have tons of smaller music videos, karaoki vids, movies, etc organized on the card but in UKMP it's all a mismash of blank cd looking icons.
- if I am playing a video, how do I get back to the UKMP interface without quitting the app?
- How do I quit the app?
this is by far my fave music player.
