Depends on how many features are "useless" - but I'd most probably go with a single Pro app just because its the known and simple way of doing things.
. At a minimum there are just some things we can't offer for free under any circumstances because they cost *us* money (like lyrics, sadly) but also certain server-intense services we'd like to start offering that will run up hardware, power, bandwidth etc costs. It sounds like most people want a free and a pro version with no ads which is also the way we're leaning

Still one more big update and one small one and then we'll call it a solid 1.0 ~ PB

Here's where we're at as of today:

And if you could humor me with another informal poll: Would you rather:
Pay for premium features (such as lyrics or anything else that we can't offer for free)
- on a per feature basis
OR
- as a single "pro" version of the app which will cost more than any single feature (but less than all the features combined if sold separately)
hate ads too ^^

I'll have to go with modules. Pro version is nice, but I really couldn't care less for online lyrics.
PRO version has the advantage it will probably "eat" newly added features, whereas a per-feature could require cash to upgrade.
However, I'm pretty sure I won't be using all the features and, if tarballed together, it's likely I'll never upgrade to PRO. I'm not going to pay for a PRO version if out of 5 features I want just 1.
Which makes me wonder. Why is there a "OR" in there? What's wrong with taballing all the addon features and the player and calling it a "pro"? Or tarballing all the features in a "pro" pack. We could have the cake and eat it, too.

Peter,
Just testing out the new version and it took a while initially where it was very slow to do anything - even just rotating from portrait to landscape.
It now seems to have settled down and is performing nicely however I noticed something weird with the rotation...
If you hold the device up in portrait it rotates correctly, if you flip the device around it rotates to landscape correctly... However if you set the n900 down flat it appears to rotate to an intermediate state that is neither landscape or portrait as the coverart is beside the track information as in landscape mode but the screen is still in portrait display...
Looks weird and the cover art is truncated as there is not enough room horizontally to display it due to still being in portrait mode...
Everything else though looks good and after the initial performance issues everything is working great! Thanks for the update, this is definately a good application - now my only other request would be for a simple way to navigate through my 3000+ tracks (1000+ albums) - could something like the character selectors on the phones contact lookup be implemented where you could directly jump to an artist/album/track by clicking an character selector on the right hand side of the screen?
The other thing I just thought of which would also be nice would be that then you are playing music (either from an album, artist or a selected track from the list), when you go back to the list from the now playing screen it should place the list at the last viewed/selected position.
