(The last message is ok, I have my music in a different directory. 
Usually, navigating there is possible though. But now, the "up button"
does nothing and the file list is empty. After quitting, this happens:)

And here is /tmp/pythm.log :
2009-03-02 10:35:40,663 DEBUG Unable to set no suspend: 
org.freesmartphone.Usage.UserUnknown: User :1.30 did not request CPU

Nothing about my problems, but it apparently have problems turning off 
suspend. Maybe SHR changed this part?

I changed the music directory in /etc/pythm.conf. This time, the album 
list came up. It'd be nice if a wrong album directory still allows one 
to go up in the directory structure - one can then navigate manually
to were the music is. This was possible before.

Playing the music still fails. I get the correct song length displayed, 
and the seconds counts up. But I can't hear anything, even if I turn the 
volume to 100%. With or without earphones makes no difference.

Output from pythm:
