weird!

I have exactly the opposite! at my place it is a big mess because it shows as Song artist when i show by "artist"

It is one big mess...I have loads of "Artist Name", 1 Album, 1 song
really annoying. I really want only Album artist, my whole collection on my Media Center and laptop are based on this.

Music player definitely need an equalizer or/and a list of sound presets.
i expected using my N900 as a MP3 player but the sound quality is too flat... we should able to pump it with more bass

you can already do that, just long press on a song or album and a menu will pop up with two options; add to current playlist (which is the now playing list) and delete. It's how i create playlists. Just make sure to clear the current playlist if you want to start from scratch.

This is partially implemented. When you're in the All song, Genres, or Artists view mode, you can just start typing and results will show up. What's weird is that it doesn't work in the Albums view mode.
I do agree that there should be an independent search function though.

As for the other suggestion, definitely should be implemented.

I strongly agree with this threat. But where is the Link to the Brainstorm to vote for it?

The 2nd one is what I meant - you can't search for albums, or text within a string.

As for the first, I meant being able to select multiple songs without having to select each one individually, and afterwards - ideally - being able to reorder the playlist.

I'll go back and edit.

I think there is some kind of hierarchy. I have one album showing the "composer" field as the artist while others with that not filled in, don't show that but go to the artist or album artist, depending upon which one is filled in. I think I'd better read the manual and find out how things are being treated.

Why not? Everyone can create a Brainstorm. You just need a account at maemo Garage.

Another one options to add to music player is "play by folder".
Some people don't use tags, rate, etc., they just store their music collection in folders and listen to them "by folder".

There is an enhancement request on this https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7358

id like to know why some of my vid files have an image, but most dont? The ones that do, the image changes depending on when i stopped the file the last play. Which is cool. I assume it will be to do with different file types, and the N900 only capturing an image file for standard AVI for instance.

The music's fine, I dont have too much of a prob, but the vid side of things needs work. Folders, categories ect. favourites, ratings would be cool too.

Its all just a matter of time though, some one will figure it out, or Nokia will change it in an update, its still very very very early days for the life of the N900
