The problem with that: It only shows one label underneath the button, not two like the Media Player's custom widget (*sigh*, Nokia. The clock has its own widget for this and the same with the Media Player and Application Manager. Mauku has its own cloned version. Wouldn't it have been easier to just collaborate efforts and put it in libhildon instead of sticking to closed-source ways? /rant). Easily remedied, though, I assume.

Especially since there is the possiblity that my next phone will handle it properly. Or that it would be fixed on the N900. That is very possible because it does handle tags properly on some of my songs. But it is very random. On some it will correctly show song artist on others it will incorrectly just show album artist. Maybe one day I will be able to work out the reason for the random different treatment.
unfortunately there is no standard. If there were an industry standard it would be easy to transfer music and know exactly how it will appear on the device.
ipod/iphone
album artist -> album
title1 - artist1 - albumart
title2 - artist2 - ..
N900
artist / album
title1 - albumart
title2 - ..
I hope you can see the difference and why music tagged for one device will not be sorted by another device as expected. Personally ipod method is better because it involves assigning multiple artists for the same song title which is not available for n900.
In n900, using a software like mp3tag. Use Artist Tag (in place of album artist tag), you can use extended tags for album art but i think you already have that covered so good job on that front.
and thats primarily it. I hope it gets your music organized

yes the media player is an incomplete wreck. I love maemo and the n900 but the media player is junk. I will revert to my trusted 5800 and wait for the next firmware update.

Media Player isn't perfect and has its issues, but it generally fits all my needs. I would REALLY like to see it open sourced so that we can fix it.

daperl and qwerty12 are already exploring the opened media application framework.

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:13.
The longer-term solution is to wait.
And - to all those whose tags are messed up - the best solution is http://www.mp3tag.de/en/.
I have zero problems with artwork and tags in my N900 media player. Give it a shot, it works great and is free!
