Once again have tried to fix song skipping.. I've hit next in rapid succession, waited till end of songs, hit next at random point in songs.. everything I could think and haven't gotten a skip I don't intend now. So, hopefully, this one will work OK.

Enjoy.. I would like to push this one forward up if there are no complaints.
Dude, in the last version none of the remaining complaints were show stoppers on the N900. Nothing crashes the desktop, it is optified, runs below 55% load in the background, and allows the CPU's clock to scale down. Ii was ready for "testing" love then.

I'll run this next version through it's paces all day tomorrow while on the move and report back but if it has no OS issues I believe you're doing yourself a disservice by not promoting it. With a larger user base you can better establish priorities, gain new support, and possibly provide even more enhancements.

We all win!

In the future you could possibly provide an option that will tie stream quality to signal quality...

Code:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.get_signal_strength | awk 'NR==2 {print $2" %"}'
...and maybe if this is enabled by default you could reduce the initial connection related complaints, but that's about it.

I wouldn't put to much into that^ though... The complaints are sure to come anyway. That is until seasoned users educate new users about how this all works. Promoting it to testing will help provide more seasoned users, savvy?

In an earlier paragraph I purposely used the word enhancements instead of features. This thing of yours does one thing extremely well. Adding more features might divert attention from its primary purpose.

Besides, I imagine you will have your hands full keeping up with future changes in your sources delivery schemes. In fact, I'm not convinced that the reason for occasional song skips are on your end. It may very well be a server side issue.

In any event, Good job! A most excellent effort on behalf of us folks in the cheap seats.

BTW, should we uninstall first or just update the previous version?
