I still carry a Sansa mp3 player running RockBox with me for one very specific feature, the ability to shift the pitch and tempo of a track independently. I realize I'm very likely in the minority, but I truly do use that functionality on a daily basis. If I could find a player for the n900 with that feature I would finally be able to consolidate and carry one fewer device. I'll add that (low priority) request to the bottom of the wish list stack.

Instinctiv pulls data from the server for 2 things at the moment (though more features will be server dependent in the future).
1) Instinctiv shuffle. Using an encrypted connection Instinctiv anonymously uploads the names (and other metadata) of the songs you have on your device. The server then returns you a "mood map" which lets Instinctiv shuffle know which songs are related to which other songs, how and by how much. We also monitor which songs you play and skip and use that to personalize the shuffle. For every 1000 songs budget 50k of data up and 4k of data down. For every 10 songs listened to, budget 1k up.
2) Artwork fetching. This one's the one that'll kill you. We download missing cover art and each cover can be up to a couple hundred k per song...
This would be very nice.

And the reason I want the tempo and pitch to be independent is because, if they weren't, then the voices would all sound like chipmunks at that speed. I like the ability to listen with the tempo at 150% but still keep the pitch at 100%, so the voices still sound normal.

Wow, this looks very promising.
Just finished installing it and so far it's miles better than standard media player, its clean interface is awesome as is the support for artwork. Thanks.

Great app, I just have the same problem as with the default player (though I fixed it by changing the config file): It gathers all my media files, and half of them is SCUMM-games sound files.
Wishlist item from me: choosing folders for library, or just an "exclude these folders" option.

Very nice application! So much better than the default media player for music.
Haven't had a singel issue so far with my small music collection of 7200 files on my N900.
Looking forward to more development and improvements.

Hello to all,
I downloaded the app yesterday and have to say very nice layout and very nice UI.
I only have some issues with some Albums which work fine on the Music Player but not in this, I do not really have a idea why this happen. In the Album view it even shows me the amount of tracks but when I enter into the Album only white screen.
Ok I do have 5000 songs on the device in eaac+ Format so could be that this is a issue
Just remarked one little thing which I would love to see added, thats the EDR Profile Support, as I do not have any possibility to control the Player with my BT Headset. That is nerving me and the reason I will not use the player at the moment, due the phone is mainly somewhere in my bag and I use my Headset to control my Music.
As mentioned several times also a support for Playlist would be nice
Great Application and I would love to see it improved.

Can Instinctiv use the same file for a faster image load?
