Settings->General Setting>System>Start Screen to "resume playback".
For the time being, I've installed an older (20070207) version of rb, and it works the way I want it to. I'll continue to try newer versions, maybe the developers will fix this eventually.

I am aware of the resume playback setting, which doesn't even require pressing play, and don't use it because I don't always want to resume immediately.
Really, this thread is just a grumble about the change in behaviour, it isn't a bug. I agree with you, I would prefer the other way, but I don't think this will get "addressed by developers" as you mean it, as it is not a bug but intended behaviour, just behaviour you (and I) don't like.

While I like the new main menu style, there is one thing that really bugs me. I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it was changed intentionally. The problem is, I can't access the settings and the quick menu via the A-B key anymore on my iRiver H120. This is the case in the current CVS build and has been in older builds from last week. It worked again in between, so I first thought, it was a glitch in some builds and was then fixed. But now it's gone again, bye bye quick menu :(. I could live having the main menu instead of the settings on A-B, but the quick menu is missed badly. Pleeeeaaase fix the A-B button functions again. Right now, short pressing A-B brings up the new main menu if I am e.g. somewhere in the file browser. A long press on A-B seems to do nothing.
Oops, now wait a minute, the quick menu is not completely gone, I get the quick menu with long A-B while I'm in the file browser or the database, but not while being in the (top level) main menu or other submenus. At least it should work in the playlist submenu as well, where it's useful for turning shuffle on/off quickly. Well, now I'm not sure anymore if it really worked (again) yesterday, maybe I was in the file browser when I tried it.

I don't believe it ever worked in any of the places you've listed it as "not working".

A question about the main menu ordering:
I know that alot of thought went into deciding the item order of the main menu, but I wonder if it might make sense to have Files on top followed by Recent Bookmarks, rather than the other way around?
While I assume that Recent Bookmarks was placed on top for ease of use and given the nature of bookmarks--to easily get to where playing was left off--I wonder if more people use thier players without bookmarks such that there would be a greater ease factor with Files on top? Â That way, one most easily could get to the Files listing (without setting the player to use that as a default).
Just a thought, based on 2 weeks of use and occasional bookmarks use, but greater direct Files screen use.
Llorean:
Recent Bookmarks won't be visible if there aren't recent bookmarks, so for people who don't use bookmarks, or keep their bookmarks cleaned up, it won't be in the way.
