Wow, very good one for my Pearl. The media player rocks, voice notes too is funky and very useful. I was long time looking for a notepad like application and you have provided it too.

in short, this 1 application has almost all my most-wanted list of applications, and very true it multiplies as many functionalities as mentioned in your user manual.

Will test and come back with bugs.

Works great on first try. Installed ok etc.
One strange thing. In the Playlists Manager screen, there are obviously blue buttons there, as you can see them as you scroll about the screen. However unless you scroll directly over the buttons you can’t actually see the buttons at all. Maybe they should be visible but greyed out, and turn blue when scolled over?
Will continue trying…

Thanks Vincentio for reporting.

By blue buttons you mean the list of playlists? (the ietms that appear below the ‘Seleced Playlist:’ label - starting with Sample/ Now playlist etc..). Those are playlist items and are list elements and not buttons. That page has only 5 buttons (new, Edit, Delete, Play Selected list, Cancel) - but as yuo told we should have provided some differentiated background to indicate that is a selectable item - we will try to address it in the future versions.

Thanks again.

Correct - I meant the screen with: -
Playlist Manager
Selected playlist :
NowPlaylist

The 5 buttons below this are invisible unless you roll the trackball around the screen.

Hope to get the chance to try out the playlist functionality today.

Thanks for the initial feedback.

!> More files system support like ogg, etc
we are working on it

!!> Changing volume using the volume control on BB
The side volume keys are un-trappable for third party developers so we are implementing other keys based volume control - eg QW-max, OP-min volume.

!!!>Ther’s a problem in playlist , you cannot create another playist and the original one changes to sample playlist
That is a restriction for personal edition - only one playlist creation is possible - please consult our user manual for details.

!V>The volume bar between +/- controls in player is not working.
That volume bar is only a visual indication - not a control - it has been fixed and set as non-focusable for future version.

V>Adding capability to add songs to playlist while browsing them
We do have it, but you have to access the file browsing from playlist manager for this facility.

V!> Capacity to select multiple files
We have add all songs in folder, but multi-select is under consideration for future versions.

V!!>The mute button dosent work with this application
mute is added, you can expect it on next version.

V!!!>While playing the playlist , forwarding the song is kinda ….. you have to go through all the songs and then you can reach the other controls of the player
You do not have to, when in playlist - use left scroll on trackwheel to goto volume buttons, use right to reach the player gauge control.

!X>Equalizer
we are considering it for future versions. But we cannot provide EST and promise this feature too.

X>Capability to add songs while you are playing other songs
We are working on this.

X!>Capability to use notepad or Vnote while playing songs
You can, use Menu option Goto to switch between modules, and should you have enabled ‘Enable Background’ in settings (menu Option->Settings->Settings screen) tou can use other applications too.

X!!>Skins (I know ur good at this)
we are working on this.

X!!!>More to Come
We are always open for your feedback and eager to serve you better.

Thanks for all suggestions and bug reports.
