why get rid of the s9, it has much better audio quality than the nokia n900. and it's not big enough to be bulky.

i have an s9 and love it.

Sometimes it's not a matter of having something to love as much as they just didn't have the time to open source it yet. Might sound stupid but the truth is that all source that gets released has to go through Nokia's legal team first and that can take who knows how long.

That is very possible because it does handle tags properly on some of my songs. But it is very random. On some it will correctly show song artist on others it will incorrectly just show album artist. Maybe one day I will be able to work out the reason for the random different treatment.
Album Artist works fine on my N900. It just won't display Artist tags at the same time. Album Artist appears to override it.

However if you have labelled an album title correctly and it has multiple artists, and no Album Artist tag, it shows up as "Various Artists" in the visual album view for that album, but the player itself will show the correct Artist tag, so you don't need to label Album Artist with "Various Artists". I like that.

There is a problem (mostly with hip hop, R&B, remixes, megamixes) where you have lots of artists featured, but I'm not sure there is a media player that handles that properly and is more a problem with the tags we have as standard at the moment.

WOW, I use the media player with my headphones all the time and it ALWAYS pauses when a call comes in and resumes when i hang up . . . . and I am *ALMOST always using the web at the same time (no wounder the battery doesn't stand a chance )


Try upgrading to the latest firmware???

Go into app manager and update!

Hope this helps

Whoa, that was painful. It took me 3 days to figure out that HildonAnimationActor is my newest, bestest friend. Anyway, after the first mediaplayer window, and before playback, it's a bunch of song, video and iradio lists. Without scrollbars, Maemo 5 list browsing is frustrating, so I decided to go for a rolodex-like iPhone OS thingy. Just a demo, but it's much nicer. Nokia needs to add something like this across the Entire OS. Here's a screen shot:

Now for some integration. And maybe some portrait mode. But first, hopefully some cleanup (me included) and some code posting.

Gotta go, my battery's dyin'.

Could that be just because there's no equalizer? Are you used to bass & treble boosting?

The main problem I have with the media player is that searching doesn't work in all screens.

Why can't I search by artist or by album?

It doesn't seem to work with albums, but currently, you have to open the keyboard if you want to search through artists and songs. It's not bad, but I usually don't like opening the keyboard for such things.

I have strong impression that there is next to *NO* priority management for system resources while playing multimedia. If something demands CPU or IO bandwidth for , say, email sync, it easily gets it causing player to hiccup and *NOTHING* in the system, even stupid renice, tries to prevent it :-(((

while listening to some loud music... someone calls, after u disconnect the phone call suddenly the music resumes on the same loud volume that tends to be disturbing sometimes... is there any way to change that to a "fade in from silent to loud" like on the n95 [ out of the box ] ??
i considered putting this up on brainstorm but i dont know anything about coding so i had no possible solutions...
