Actually, if it will be like this, I'd welcome it on my N900 as well All major media players have some flaw on Maemo platform, either buggy and/or slow, unusable interface, CPU/power hog or all of the above.

Shadows for text, background from n900 call application, new top borders...

One request Kroll.

Perhaps have a possible feature where the backlight remains lit while playing music for those who have this on their nightstand, or at work, etc.

Something like:

gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-display/turn_off_display 6000000
gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-display/brightness_period 6000000
gconftool-2 --type int --set /system/osso/dsm/display/display_dim_timeout 6000000
gconftool-2 --type int --set /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout 6000000

non full screen mode would be helpful for anyone who uses the status bar clock.....course being able to show the current time in the player window would be even better.

I think Canola had the right idea here: Allow the player to be configured. There are somethings that work better in mplayer (e.g. more video formats), and somethings that work better (e.g. using the DSP to reduce CPU overhead and power consumption).

If it wasn't for it's bloat, I would say Canola is just about perfect for my uses. Here some of the features I find I really like and would like to see in a new player
  • Flickable scroll lists
  • Podcasts
  • Separate Images, Videos, "Music" categories
  • Configurable backend

I also would love to see a player that allows EQ Settings (and uses the DSP at the same time -- yeah, right).

As i said before
In settings menu will go shuffle, repeat, full screen (if somebody don't like all-time full screen mode), font size, hardware keys.
One request Kroll.
Only one? C'mone guys, feel free to discuss and request!
Ok, I think it is easiest thing to do. And there will be a blank screen button as well to lock&blank screen immediately, but leave keys unlocked (to make possible switch the song in the pocket for example)

@jwernerny
I am sorry, but title of this thread says "audio player", not media. So no videos or photos at all.
Flickable scroll lists
Please can you describe it? I did not get you.
Configurable backend
And again, I didn't understand.
Podcasts possibly will be added later. For now we have to make it play at least local music.

Okay. Second request.

Buttons should change appearance when pressed.

Whether this be highlighting, a new image with a smaller shadow to make it look like it's being pushed down, just something so the entire screen doesn't act like a still picture.

Does that make sense?
