Are those pics the default skin? I'm using the older version and I really like the scroll "wheel" as a method to move through songs. Has that feature been dropped?

There is even a Skin Toolbox to design your own skins if you feel up to it. Here is the tutorial so far, not quite finished according to the dev.

(The Skin Toolbox was found in the first post of the skins page.)

Nice application. Fast-loading and finger-friendly. Sounds good and works very well on stock TP. Only negative is the equalizer which causes crackles and speaker pops. Could possibly be my mp3s though, many of which were pre-stereo recordings. (My golden oldies are O.L.D. lol)
Yeah Darren, it's strangely the same layout as S2P. No interface learning-curve at all.

Yes that is the default skin, which does not take advantage of the scroll wheel. However, here are 2 skins that do:

Takeiteasy VGA
3.1 default

Edited my above post. Yes it still has scroll wheel support, not sure why it's not included in the default skin.

You can scroll through your playlist (in an ipod-like manner) using the scroll wheel included in those skins. Those were the only 2 skins that I tested, but the scroll wheel feature has not been dropped.

Yes it can. You can choose whether to add the subfolders or not.

Thanks, this may come in handy as a backup player orwhen i'm really strapped on system reaources.

I'm sure you mean integration... But yeah, i feel you. It is handy to have that plug-in a swipe away on Manila 2D. :headbang:

Ok, let me see if I can help.

I have each of my albums stored in a folder that only holds that album. So when I use the media browser to navigate to an album, I just load all the songs to my playlist.

Or, it doesn't really matter if you don't have your folders set up that way. You can just go to your music folder and load all your songs into your playlist. This would make a long list will all of your songs, sorta like navigating to "All Songs" in the iPod. Then you can use the scroll wheel (available in the skins in my op) to find songs in your library.

Or you can clear your playlist (doesn't delete the songs) then go through your folders selecting specific songs to add to your playlist.

It would be nice if it this app sorted songs by author or album (I'm sure that'll be coming in future releases) but honestly its not that bad, especially if you have your albums arranged in folders. Just add each fold (or you can just go to you music folder and all sub folders in one fell swoop) to your playlist (so that the album's songs are grouped together) then use the scroll wheel, or even the default skin, so jump through songs. Really not that hard to get use to. As fast as this app is, and as finger friendly as it is, I think it's worth it.

I've been messing around with this app for a couple weeks now, and I must say that this is my favorite mp3 player. Yeah, the bulk song playlist might take a bit of getting use to, but like goodgets said, it's just like navigating through all songs on the iPod. However, these are grouped by albums, which makes it even better. I think this is the most attractive and easiest to use mp3 player out there. Truly the most finger friendly. I love the scroll wheel feature, and don't know why it's not used in the default skin (it use to be in previous versions btw). Anyways, it can still be enabled using a different skin.

Great app and thanks.
