Another issue which would be great if you could add is to remember the last file browsing folder for both audio/video, so when you choose music/video -> files it takes you back to the last folder you were in last time (even if application was closed and reopened).

am i doing something wrong?
Yes.

You seem to be using XBMC wrong. You need to tell it what kind of media you have in different directories, and then let it scan your media, extracting meta-data it can (e.g. ID3 etc.) and using scapers to match names to content so that it can pull meta-data from websites that provide APIs to do so.

Then, instead of you being limited to browsing content in the directory structure you have used to store the files, you can browse content by many different methods, from XBMC itself, from the uPNP/DLNA sharing it does (e.g. natively in the media player on N900, file manager in N900, from other computers on your network), and easily access it (I assume) from this app.

if you can't browse your music by:
-Artist
-Album
-Genre
-Year
etc., then please go to xbmc.org, and come back when you can.
