Thanks for another great release Konttori! I only have one long-lasting wish, which would be the ability to specifiy which directories are scanned (instead of editing the source code as I have in the past). A simple menu triggered by the menu button would be great, with the "Directories to scan...", "About", and "Exit" options. That way you could even let users know which version they're running and any additional info desired, like who wrote it
We're starting to get quite a collection of media players and so information on the author, homepage, etc. is always nice.

Thanks,
Larry

If you have trouble downloading it, download it first using your pc.

I'll add the scanning stuff there in the near future. Hopefully even for the 1.7.

I had this problem last week TT, I sent Kon a PM and I did as he has suggested by downloading the file to my PC. I then successfully transfered the file to my tablet with the data cable.

Bizarre how it wouldn't download directly to the N800 though, I got the same as you to about 99% and then it would stop & then re-start.

Hey kontorri i dont think it if is possible but my one request is adding search suppport where we can search the title of the song.... like when we input the first letter all songs with that first letter come and then when we start inputting more letters only the corresponding songs are being shown. I havent seen this feature in any of the media players. Just like the live search in windows vista.
Thank you so much for the valuable work.......

I'll think about the search feature, but it may be a bit 'incompatible' with the approach of ukmp. let's see

Can i ask why it will be incompatible with the ukmp approach??
And if anything it will give a new feature to ukmp which has never been tried by other media players.

Well, mainly because it doesn't have a view for that. Not saying that I couldn't add it, but saying that it would require a search view. Or do you mean that when you write something in the album list view, those albums not matching will disappear and the rest will stay in there? Would that search albums or also the songs inside the albums? I will think about it, so if you have a good recommendation, I'm completely open to hear about it.

I am thinking of a search for song names. But it would be great even we could have the option of selecting which directory i.e search in songs or search in albums. Have you ever used the live search in windows vista??
Well when you start inputting a letter all the files i.e programs, music, photos and for that matter anything with a name which starts with that particular letter come.
Of course we dont need all those here but just the song names. And then when you input the second letter only the songs matching with the two letters in that order are shown and with further input it goes on until we find the respective song or album....

Since we already have the album view it would be great if we can search for that particular song. All three media players have the option of segregating the music according to albums but none has the option of playing a specific song.
Like with more than 7 gigs of songs if i wanted to find a specific song i need to go through all the albums and then scroll thorough all the albums and find that specific album and then enter into it and play that song which may be a little time consuming if the album is somewhere in the middle.

Actually i was reading a review of the n81 today and they reviewer mentioned that it had this feature just like windows live search and he also mentioned that all the future n series phones are going to get that feature. I dont think the tablets are going to get it anyhow irrespective of thier "N" branding

Yes, either:
1. Jumping: Pressing R jumps to the albums starting with R (no removing, bit easier interaction) - providing albums are there alphabetically
2. Filtering: Pressing R removes all the other albums except those starting with R, with a nice transition

(Of course at least I personally need more to find artists, not albums...)

A livesearching view / functionality, pressing R would give search results of albums, artists and songs starting with R would be nice, but it requires rather more design.

Yes, I will try to implement at first the scroll to album behavior. Then perhaps something more.
