Same here, it work rather well for me. But like you I never use the database or create dynamic playlists. I wasn't even aware of the problems.

I don't really like the main menu, I have start screen set to file tree. If I start up in the file tree, play some music, it ends, I don't really want to end up back in the menu, only to have to select file tree again every single time.

arg.. I dunno... I dont like stop going to the browser....

I know where I want to be - the file tree.
Llorean:
How 'bout "If music ends, go back to the selected 'start screen' unless that screen is also a playback screen of some sort, then go to wherever the WPS was invoked from" or something like that?
I haven't used the bookmark feature myself, so I don't know the advanced bits of it at all, and am not really qualified to speak relating to it. All I need from bookmarks is basically "I click on a file, and it populates the playlist, and resumes from a certain point in a certain file." Basically, what resume on startup does. I'd basically be happy with the ability to dump the current playback state (I assume, something similar to nvram.bin) to a file, whenever I wanted (or automatically when playback is stopped).

oh? that should only be the case when doing "dirplay" though
