Peter, downloaded this just a few minutes ago and had a play around with it. Very interested to see what changes there are in version 0.9!!!

As above, I am having no difficulties in terms of how responsive the player is. The first couple of times I ran the program my CPU was about 40% while a song was playing. The last time I tried it was gutsing it at 100%, so not sure what the deal could be there.

To give personal input on what can be added (just to help you prioritise, not to criticise!!!!)
For me, playlist support would be nice, only because i have ~2200 songs on my device and obviously don't want to have to change song all the time.
Also, and I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, but at some stage (I imagine this being difficult to implement, so maybe in the not-so-near future) it would be great if you could add support for the built-in FM Transmitter.

Those are the only two things that would stop me from making this my default player because the interface is incredibly clean. When the correct version is uploaded to the OVI store/available off the website I'll try and use the Mac OS client and see how we get on there. I have been using Songbird which now has support for N900 for Mac OS but I'm sure your desktop client has similar support, so am very interested in seeing what happens when I sync the two.

Keep up the fantastic work, as I said the interface is absolutely amazing, far better than anything I've seen on the N900 to date.

Cheers all the way from Australia

Tom
