Actually, this is not true. I'm the developer of this little app. The version t_moyashi made available here (cool btw!) is the current SVN snapshot version. I have not made a new release available because currently I do not have much time to finish and release it, but it is still being developed and as far as I can tell, it is running stable for the last year. That's why I introduced nightly builds a few weeks ago, so anyone can try the app - even though there is no official release.
Btw, Quasar Media Player is available for Zaurus Qtopia and pdaXrom, Linux, Win32 and OS X.
The nightly builds are available here (that is, if there were changes on the day before...):

Once I got it installed, its a pretty good media player. Quick loading, Relatively good touch controls (for the main options at least) The small buttons are difficult to hit without a stylus. I like how when in the info screen play mode, there are 9 hotzones on the screen that are fully configurable. Only problem I've run into is Cover Flow can crash the program.

One question, is there a way to point the program to grab the cover.jpg files in each of my music folders instead of grabbing from the .id3 tag or the web?

Still no luck. Odd, I tried rebooting. Tried adding the .deb extension to the file names.

Edit:
I got installed on my N800, but still no luck on the N810...weird.

Edit2:
On N800: got it to load music list. I started looking at the view options and it crashed. Now I cannot get it to open even after rebooting.

Problem with Mplayer?

getting this into extras (devel) would be nice. Looks like a nice player - especially the playlist support.

Anyone manage get it to work properly on N800 ? For me, it does come up, but is dead slow, and will crash occasionally - and there does not seem to be a way to turn up the volume

Is there an user guide ?

As stated in the first post, volume adjustment isn't yet working in Maemo. You can, however, adjust volume from the status bar.

Oh - I took that to mean that the volume slider is not working. I was hoping that there would be another way to up the volume. Anyway, I moved the N800 status bar slider all the way up, and the slider on the Quasar app is at the minimum and I hear faint sound. If I now open Canola and slide the Canola volume slider all the way up and restart Quasar , I see the Quasar slider all the way up - BUT - the sound is still faint .

The app look promising, but I do not think it is ready for N800 yet
