I think it's a problem of horsepower. If you can, as modern players do, read all id3 info of all tracks, and process it on a relational database, you can perfectly sort all your songs by author/album/year/genre/what you want ;) But, if doing so is a slow process on my 2.4 GHz desktop, I cannot imagine how slow would be on the freerunner. What about an option for selecting between name order/ track# order? This would satisfy almost all people, I think. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
