Skipping in the latest trunk is very fast now. The covers are not
scaled, right? They are displayed over the whole screen. So it is
cleared, that the slow skipping in earlier versions is caused by
image scaling.
How does the home-widget do the scaling?
Normally imagemagick is very fast.

Is there any way how to make the fonts larger in Mediabox? on N900, there is plenty of space and so tiny letters, impossible to read, especially when used in the car. Thanks.

Thanks for giving me feedback! This shows me that I'm on the right way.
Actually, the covers are scaled. The fullscreen display is just some eye-candy (looks especially good in portrait mode). The covers are scaled like before by gdkpixbuf with bilinear filtering. It was more of a CPU/thread starvation issue that slowed it down. The N900 is not very powerful in this regard, esp. when disk IO is involved.

No, the covers may also be embedded in the ID tags.
Mussorgsky ought to work thus.

The current version in extras-testing has two additional themes with larger fonts.

The last version shows the lyrics from lrc files very well, but I think you should add a feature to show the lyrics with big fonts and using using full screen, because to read the lyrics in the left-down area for few minutes is ok, but it is very annoying for a long time.

However it is only my opinnion,.

The next version will have a better lyrics display.

After a fresh reflash to PR1.3 track skipping takes about 5 seconds
again. I will report again, when I configured the advanced kernel.
