<div dir="ltr">There are several tricks to getting the qtopia media player to find your music properly.<br><br>1) Your music must be located in one of the paths defined in /opt/Qtopia/etc/default/Trolltek/Storage.conf (or something similar, I do not have my device at the moment). By default those are only /home and the *first* partition of the SD card. You can edit Storage.conf to your liking but will have to restart X to get it to start reading the new file systems.<br>
<br>2) There seems to be a problem with both media players where they will fail to properly read files (id3 tags and playing) when your files are either stored not on the first partition of the SD card, or if the partition is not formatted as FAT. I say either because I have not tested further to discover which is the real culprit.<br>
<br>As to the qtopia media player being slow, it is only slow the first time it loads per device boot. It seems to do much reading and caching the first time through. If you keep it up for a while the experience improves significantly.<br>
<br>Finally, there is still a issue with pulse audio suspending. If you have a stream open through pulseaudio when you resume pulseaudio will be "locked" and nothing will play. One might be able to rectify this by killing qtopia-mediaserver after suspend but I have not tested that. If in doubt, turn off suspend before playing music.<br>

</div></div>I can confirm that this works. But the media players seems not to read<br>
the ID3-Tag. An it isn't usable. You can hear half a second and then<br>
you have half a second break. But it can "play" mp3<br>
