Does such exist? As an ex iPod user I'd really fancy having either my own playlists which I could create & handle on my PC, or alternatively playing the files on the phone via picking a folder and it would play all files in subfolders. My media collection is quite extensive and seen alot of trouble to tag it all correctly, and picking one genre and artist just won't cut it. With the capacity of N900 being quite good I bet I'm not alone with the problem.

edit: MediaBox is the solution.

MediaBox (currently in extras-testing) can do this.

I had some problems while trying MediaBox, mainly it telling me everything is synced in under a second and no media appears. Also using the filebrowser in MediaBox alot of folders are missing (like My Documents only shows Photos). I'll try a fresh install later tonight I guess.

Hmm, if My Documents only shows Photos then something must really be missing. Is your filemanager able to browse these folders?
Maybe your device was attached via USB cable to a computer at that time? In that case the stuff under My Documents is not accessible on the device.

The reason I didn't see the correct structure was due I forgot my phone in Mass Storage mode while it was simply recharging, sorry. Now it works and I've managed to create playlists from folders, superb. I'll now go look around in other threads if I can somehow remove the video/images etc from the shelf view since I really only need this for mp3 and shoutcast playback.

Video, etc cannot be removed from the shelf, but making this configurable is not a bad idea. Thanks.

Alright, hope it's configurable at some point then, thanks for the help!

Hi, I am having trouble with my media player on the n900. It used to be all right, but now it can't read my sounds and video folder. Any ideas ???

I'm really annoyed that Nokia has removed this nice feature from the music player. Nokia 770 (the first maemo device) had the folder selection in the default music player!

I usually organize my music by folders so not being able to play songs by folder is really frustrating.
