Latest version segfaults for me. Are there some data files lying around that I can try deleting?

some quick comments on the latest version:
- looking very polished, love the eye candy
- startup time is very slow
- using it on a 3g connection is killing your quota, probably for the never ending fetching of the album cover art
- CPU load is 60% at 950 MHz while playing ... a tad high I guess (but with speakers so with earphones it will be less thanks to the pulseaudio speaker protection)
- overall RAM usage is 77% but that's also depending on other processes loaded but not active.
- network activity : according to conky, almost constant 2 KB/s upload, 31 to 71 KB/s peak download.
- whole device feels very sluggish when being used
- severe lag pressing buttons (prev/next song etc.)
I have a small library of 1200+ songs on my SD card, no other programs open (apart from Conky). Availability is offline.
If the speed issues are solved, then this would be a very nice, usable (if some form of quick jumping, index char or keyboard based- to songs is there) player.
if most of the issues are temporarily (eg. fetching related), please provide some form of status indication to let the user know what's going on, why we feel we are running at 250 Mhz while I'm actually nicely overclocking ... ????
Also give an indication how many songs/albums it still will try to process, for my peace of mind
Please keep up the good work and address the speed issues first.

We're currently thinking of offloading heavier computation onto the desktop. We have a mac alpha and will be rolling out win and linux versions too. Once those are solidified, we'll enable gapless playback from the desktop so that it works on maemo.

That's probably more than what they have working on PR1.3.

Sorry if this is not the right place but I am having trouble with Instinctiv.....
My current media player I use my bluetooth handfree kit as my speaker. I am unable to do this with Instinctiv. Is this an issue or am I doing something wrong.. I make sure my bluetooth is turned on but the sound will not come out of the speaker.
Can anyone help....PLEASE

We need to fix speed/memory/bug issues first but this is one of the first things we'll get to when we start adding new features.

Installed this app to my N900 today. Uninstalled 15 minutes later. Too slow. I was not able to smoothly scroll list of albums/artists

Started to use - if app needs time to do scanning etc then it should tell it to user. I use mediaplayer rarely and expect it to be usable.
