What's wrong with the current media player

Hello,

I'm an owner of the jolla since the beginning. I'm using it as my main smartphone since then. Sailfish is really a nice OS, and there has been a lot of improvements in 3 years.

When I'm driving my car, I use it to stream music on my car stereo. But I think the media player needs improvements. Here's a list with th current version (sailfish 2.0.2.48) :

  • there is still a bug with the flac files (the tags are empty or the files are seen as videos)
  • the tracks in the album view are ordered by track number, omiting the disk number. If you're listening to a 2 disks album, they are played in the wrong order (d01t01 then d02t01 then d01t02, d02t03, and so on)
  • the album id should be used to compare albums, and not only the album name. For example, the group Weezer has 4 albums named "Weezer", which are shown as a same item in the media player.
  • The artists view should only show the artists list in the albumartist tag. We don't want to see all the artists featured in one track or all the various artists in a compilation.
  • Add the possibility to create a temporary playlist, like the media player of the nokia n9. You add artists or albums or tracks to the playlist and you can listen to it directly. Really useful with long distance trips.

Could you please add the features and / or release the media player as open source ?
