Being forced to use a db is an unecessary ball & chain in every way as smaller apps let you browse without the shaky long ritual (mirage quiver kilikali ....).
Same experience here... C2 is worthless if you have more than just a handful of files, IMHO.
Sadly because it's only a small percentage of users who have a clean file and folder structure.
I can image many people have one "My Music" folder where they throw in all the files they download, having such descriptive names as 4786879658.mp3 or 4678326548.wma. Without indexing the ID tags, it would be just a mess.
MediaBox once started with folder-only browsing without any indexing. Then users began to complain that they have hundreds of files in a folder and can't browse by artist, by genre, by album. The folder browsing was fine for me, because I have every album in a subfolder, which I just drop onto the SD card, but apparently not for all users.
With ever decreasing prices for large capacity SD cards (8 to 16GB specifically) and specially wanting to swap SD cards, these big db based media apps are dinosaurs. And we are not even talking of mutli terrabite super-fast SD cards (prototypes working now) to be released over the next few years.

is it me or have the usability of kilikali gone out the window? it seems to toss just about everything into the playlist, no matter what kind of file it is...

If the album is one large file, I split the single mp3 file with cue-splitter. Then delete all files except mp3s & photos. I make sure the photo files start with a letter so they are listed at the bottom of folders & killikali (or Media Box) and clicking on the right hand x deletes them from the list if needed. Folder's Naming convention: artist's name-album name.

seriously, i like it alreadly. a basic play list would be nice, and that volume control is maybe a bit to hidden. but as a start its nice 
im tempted to read up on pygame and see if i can help somehow.

I have in mind a playlist editor: I was thinking return for 'navigation' and quick play button and space to add to the playlist, I just have to prepare a 3rd screen to manage the list (to achive the joy of the all killer no filler playlist)

Sure you can jump on the wagon but I warn you Im a mess and happen I throw away huge parts just because...Im not really focused on productivity: just the fun of doing
