I love canola. I have a few ideas that I believe would make it more functional.

I have a bluetooth earpiece which I use for listening to music and audiobooks while at work rather than to make phone calls. This renders the button on the headset useless. Would't it be nice if canola had configurable options for this? I'd love it if I could pause canola with the headset button rather than having to remove the n800 from my pocket. Another annoyance is having to press the vol change button 25 times to get the music turned down, but thats for another thread.

Secondly, Canola should have a specific player menu for audiobooks which is seperate from the music menu. Id like to see an option to set time bookmarks while the track is playing as well as attach a memo such as 'this is where the author talked about...' as well as having a smart bookmark for 'where i last left off' which can only exist once per book.

These would both be very handy and would make canola much more functional.

Let me know what you think.

Well, some effort has been made to make the headset button do stuff; this is generic, rather than Canola-specific, and I'm not saying that Canola shouldn't support it natively, but it might be helpful in the meantime.

Good feature requests

Both features will be cool!!

I second the request for bookmarks in podcasts. At very least a way to mark where I left off would cover the most basic needs. I don't often annotate podcasts, but I could see that being very powerful too.

I'd really like to see a "shortcut" plugin that I configure with icons to take me straight from the main screen (or a "shortcuts" screen one screen deep) to my favorite activities. In my case that would be browsing album covers and perhaps a few favorite streaming radio stations or podcasts. The big motivation here is to avoid having to scroll through the text lists because there are times (e.g. driving in the car) when navigating those lists of text is nearly impossible. Main screen shortcuts are not the only way to do this--you could iconize the existing text lists for example--but I think think the ability to jump right to your favorite activities and bypass the intervening 3, 4, 5, or more screen taps would be really great too.
