The bitrate info is available for each track, so it should be possible to display it.. However, it is not currently exposed by the library so it will need to be added. All tracks are indeed not available in high bitrate, and in such case, the standard bitrate 160k is automatically selected.
Yeah - that's what I would assume as well.

Thing is, since I switched over to 320K this evening (and quit every time an album finished or I wanted to switch albums), I've had three instances of 'forever spinning' (i.e. nothing loading, activity indicator keeps spinning, no timeout it seems - give up after 5 mins or so), and ten instances of playlists only partially loading with a timeout - i.e. only two fully successful launches out of fifteen.

I switched to 160Kbs and the playlists loaded first time after that. It did fail the next time though... but it loaded after that, again.

No traffic restrictions - The N900 is on my cable LAN, which has 10Mb down.

Another question:
I keep prodding on the progress bar expecting it to do something. Should it (i.e. scrub)?
