thanks for listening.

There would be a way as MediaBox can now accept files on the command line (even while it's running you can e.g. enter "MediaBox /media/mmc1/music.mp3" to load that file into MediaBox).
So with some tweaking of Maemo's MIME type associations, MediaBox could be registered as default player for certain file types.

This is a task where you don't need any programming. Any volunteers?
