Thanks, I got it installed. I think the hackers repository doesn't mix well with python 2.5, after I deleted that, it installed fine.

Great work on the 1.7alpha2 player too! I've been using it for a bit today, and have the following comments:

1. The order of the albums doesn't look alphabetical? Oh wait, I just looked again, the order is Right to Left, instead of Left to Right. Also, is there a way to ignore "The" in the artist title so "The Bravery" albums are shown next to the other "B" artists (like Bush for example)

2. I think the D pad could be much more useful if it scrolled a whole screen at a time, (4 album widths instead of one album). it would make browsing the albums much easier

3. I would also like to see a simple scrollable Artist view, in addition to the album view. Since many artists have multiple albums, it would make searching for an artist much quicker, if you didn't want to browse all the album covers.

4. And while we're at it, how about a "Genre" view

5. I think you mentioned somewhere about moving the text for the top row of albums above the covers to avoid confusion - that would be nice.

6. I agree for making scanning for new album art, a menu option. This could allow for quicker load times. A blank album place holder could be used until you decided to update them.

7. I noticed a bunch of songs from different artists got put into a "Music" album? Probably because they are lacking proper ID3 tags, but I think I'd rather see them grouped by artist with an "unkown" album icon.

8. Also, I would like to specify which folder(s) I want UKMP to scan for media, since I do not want the whole device scanned every time, and don't want certain folders scanned. I keep youtube videos in a seperate folder and delete the videos often. UKMP makes a preview icon for the videos that stays in the album directory after I delete the video file. Then I have to manually search for, and delete that file, which can be cumbersome.


So far, everything I've seen is very promising. even in its incomplete stage, I think your new UKMP is already better than many other media players for maemo!!

Keep up the good work!
