Is it possible to achieve gapless audio playback with Android music players such has Poweramp? Has anyone tried this?

First impressions on first day of ownership:
1) No USB Mass Storage support. Unfortunately we'll have to live with this due to Sailfish's file system setup (which will become more supported by Linux OSes as time goes on), but that feature would have been handy if possible.
2) I can't find my external SD Card's position on the file system. I believe it is supposed to be in /media but there is nothing in that folder in my case. My card is formatted FAT32 so it should be mounted without a hitch. Perhaps the destination changed again, anyone with pointers?

BTW, I'm using sshfs/sftp with public key authentication and it works like charm.

The bash script that does the mounting is located in /usr/sbin/mount-sd.sh and should support FAT32.

2) How big is the card? I have 32GB one, formatted to FAT32 and everything works fine (yes, it should show up in /media). Maybe try to reformat it?
EDIT: Didn't see MartinK's answer, so just to add here: I'm using sftp/fish as well and it's a very comfortable way of moving files.
EDIT2: It is indeed in /media/sdcard/<UUID>/, not /mount/sdcard/<UUID>/ in my case...

I was aware the protocol is rather simple and originally targeted very simple media player devices - but haven't really though it can be that bad until I've read the Wikipedia article. As it stands at the moment (no support for seek of any kind, only one operation can be done at a time,...) the MTP protocol is a lost cause for any other use case than copy-a-few-files-and-pray-it-works unless it is totally overhauled to resemble something at least semi-functional.

I have sent my Jolla for repair(vibration, speaker, reboots) and have been (re)using N9 as main phone for several days now. Some comparison below:
- Jolla is way(3x) faster, but N9 feels smoother and more polished and complete product.
- N9 AMOLED screen is joy to look at, it has a magnitude better readability in the sun than Jolla screen.
- N9 feels premium, where Jolla feels cheap.
- Jolla UI had evolved to the right direction from N9, getting rid of buttons. I really miss Jolla swipes on N9. But still Jolla had a long way to go to make its UI logical and easy to use all the time with various tasks. It lacks the small tricks and clever moves that are making the user experience WOW.
- overall Sailfish in Jolla wins hands down over Harmattan, only inferior in smoothness and visual appeal. I hope Jolla to stay afloat for producing Sailfish OS 2.0 - that will be something!
So in conclusion - Sailfish is really promising and heading down the right track. But HW Jolla uses is just cheap and lacking the Finnish design virtues.
Hope Jolla will do its homework and shine with Jolla 2 soon.

Going back to the SD card issue, mine is a generic 4GB Class 6 card that came packed with another device. It mounts fine in my Galaxy S2 and my PC. I have tried taking it out and reinserting it to no avail. I'm considering buying a bigger SD card so I want to make sure there's nothing wrong with my hardware.
EDIT: Just tried a Sandisk Ultra 2GB card, and it works fine! Maybe there's only limited support in the kernel or something.

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:40.
My six months with Jolla were almost pure love. It was nice device to use: so fast, fluent and intuitive. Everything just worked and monthly updates and active community were pampering me. New, cool and smooth apps were a supprice coming from Symvbian.
Weirdly the most missed function of Jolla is for me is ability to create now-playing lists in music player. I waited for that functionality 10 years!
There was only one thing I missed from old days and I noticed it after I reverted back to my dying N8 after my phone got stolen. The camera. Jolla just did not have what N8 had and now camera of Jolla feels a showstopper.
Now my I think I'm gonna to wait for a native sailfish device with better camera (or possibility to install it to good camera phone) if I ever can afford smartphone,
