Thanks a bunch! MediaBox, imo, has replaced Canola as the best overall media player for Maemo, especially on the N900 where Canola is currently a major WIP. Some thoughts/suggestions:

- I love having portrait mode available, but dislike the tilt sensor switching mechanism. Too often I've found myself in the wrong mode and had to fiddle with it to get it rotated the right way. A simple on screen button for changing orientation would be the ideal solution for me.

- I "read" a lot of audiobooks on my N900. I find if I pause a file for a while and try to hit play/pause again, the file starts over from the beginning, rather than from the place I paused it.

- It would be nice if the player controls (play/pause, next/prev track, etc.) were made larger. They are a bit too small and tightly packed together to casually press with chubby fingers, especially if one is trying to manipulate the player quickly, while at a stoplight for instance.

- As I noted earlier, I read a lot of audiobooks. I really like the ability of MediaBox to do filesystem / file tree view playback instead of just tags. I find it takes a long time to drill down into the filesystem to get to the files/folders I want. It would be nice to be able to set a specific default directory to start navigation from, so that I can get to the files I want to play quickly when starting MediaBox.
