Can somebody please point me toward the documentation for MediaBox? I seem to be unable to find it.

Feature request / GUI improvement suggestion:
Could you add a function to directly start playing the contents of a file or all files in a folder/listview when e.g. the user touches the icon of the item in question? (Leaving kinetic scrolling working in the areas where the text of the titles is shown)
The curent way with the DOT-Icon > ADD or PLAY button is a bit too complicated. Most often, I would simply like to select a folder and then listen to all the music in there. The way it currently (seems to) work makes using Mediabox quite a task. "I don't want to have to think when I just want to listen to some music" :-)
Thanks!

But unfortunately, you only describe how MediaBox shouldn't do it, instead of telling us how it would be better in the GUI. Mockups and sketches are always welcome.

Is there a way to hide the left bar? I find it kind of annoying that it's there when it's not being used.

To get pictures to show for all the artist and albums do we need a picture like folder.jpg in each folder?
