Yes this is exactly what I would want. There should be abilty to toggle shuffle/sequential play.

It would be good to support multidisc albums, or at the least when viewing an album you should order by disc# prior to track#. Maybe the device can use the same views that are defined in mp configuration, or alternatively you could support the two most commonly used views by users which would be (artist -> album -> disc# -> track) or folder based non tag view. If the album had only 1 disc # defined then it would just jump immediately from album -> track (as what is supported in the new MP 1.2)

The only additional things that you havn't covered above is maybe my lyrics support, but that I think is more of novelty value. Mediaportal also has an artist/album info that gives you information on the artist or album, but again i think this is more of a novely wow thing, rather than a useful thing.

For the implementation I can think of two ideas

* Short press on item navigates into that item (eg. album artist -> album -> track)
* Long press on item gives context menu which could contain the following
. - Play now (This would create a new playlist with that artist/album/track and start playing)
. - Queue item (This would queue the artist/album/track to the end of the current playlist)
. - Download item (This would transfer all the artists tracks, or the album or the track to the device, to a predefined directory using a predefined tag based folders eg. /sdcard/music/%albumartist%/%album%/%track#% - %artist% - %title%.ext)
* Hardware Menu button
.   - Choose view
.   - Playlists : Create new playlist / Load playlist / Delete playlist
.   - Toggle shuffle
.   - Toggle repeat
* Swipe left / right could switch between Browse music / Playlist / Now Playing Screen

(or)

* Short press item will play the current item
* Long press item gives context menu
* Swipe right / left on item to navigate into an item or to go back to parent item

---

Now playing screen should have ability to rate current playing track as well as showing track info (Artist / Track Title / Album) and also Next Track (Artist / Track title). It would be nice to show the album art +/- artist image.

Anyway these are my thoughts, which hopefully will help with ideas for implementation when you do the music part.
