It is a great player. Looks good, plays well, (if a bit sluggish with the album art). I use it myself. It's just a shame there isn't going to be any more features added like the ones we all asked for.:(

i know that this isn't GUI related, but musicplayer: mpd works on the n900. will mpdscribble and nmpcpp as a client work too, building them from source it should be possible to get them working..

/e: if i posted in wrong thread i'm sorry but my browsing speed is ****ed up atm.

Polished, intuitive, fast, low on resources, simple but feature rich and touch optimized player?

Nope.

I must be the only person who thinks that the stock media player does a perfectly good job at music playback (I don't like EQ, and I'm not fussy about gapless playback). :p

It has no random feature. If you select random it plays the tracks in exactly the same order each and everytime. That reason alone makes it a pretty poor music player. Unfortunately all the other music players I have tried for N900 have even bigger short comings (for example mediabox not even being able to read m3u playlists).

I must be getting old, because I've always thought that albums were created to have tracks listened to in a particular order. Can you imagine listening to Pink Floyd in random order? :eek: ;)

I would hold off until MohammaAG releases his replacement for the stock music player.

Nice easy GUI and plenty of usability :)

LOL, my exact reasonings. I hardly ever use random play because of all my Floyd albums. Now if someone could produce a player that could randomly pick folders and play all the songs sequentially from that folder... now you are talking ;)

Yes, the Audio Player is to slow and make some freeze sometimes...
And wherease others audio players, we can't :
- Have the album slide selection (like iPod's).
- The album's picture as screensaver.

But do check out Media Box!

same here

i wish developers would enhance the builty on version instead og making a million new players.

i like the built in version best of all players Ive tried; the gui on the thrid party releases just doesnt cut it for me.
