Hi Karel,
Yes-I could play the WMA files in media player in both the 770 & N800 before Canola. And the WMA files still play in the media player.
However, the N800 does not pick up all of the songs in the library.
I can play them one by one.
I have three songs on my SD card that are MP3. Canola, picks these up.
When I rip my CD's, I rip them as MP3's, but Windows makes them WMA's.
I believe these are still MP3's. However in the details type they are
x-ms-wma.
Since I'm having trouble with the media player loading all the tracks in the
library, I was hoping Canola would work out.
Canola is fantastic, and since it's a front end and not a new player, I
understand the issue is mostly media player.
I'm looking forward Nokia's update on the playback of media.
I don't mind using both Canola for video and media player for music.
But it will be cool when I can use Canola for all media.
Thanks,
JN

Had a problem with (i think) Canola yesterday.
Using an N800 with the stock firmware.
Running Canola listening to an album and I have the N800 setup to auto lock the thouchscreen. I left the album playing to the end and when I tried to unlock the N800 it wouldn't register any pressing on the square button and so I can't unlock.
I'm just going to let the battery run down and then reboot it that way but it's knocked the N800 out of commision for a few days.
Oh, and the battery is a nightmare to get out by the way

However, I'd like to second this comment. Main usecase for podcasts that I see is listening to them during a commute, and with 3G streaming that'd become quite expensive.
In the perfect world both podcasts and photocasts would "autodownload" on the background when connected to a WiFi access point, a bit like the default RSS reader of N800 does.
BTW, I noticed that by setting a photocast to run slideshows I can use N800 with Canola as a digital photoframe that runs either my own, or pictures of my Flickr buddies as a slideshow. I just wonder if I can make that loop so it doesn't finish at last photo.

PS: Any word on open sourcing Canola? I'm kind of hoping Carman is a trial balloon for releasing INdT stuff as free software...

Not to mention making a playlist from a text editor is something of a pita.
Thanks - Found one on Maemo, I'll give that a try.
I want to create custom playlists.
So - any other apps folks can recommend?

Tom T., you can use Playlist Creator, which scans your 770/N800 and makes a single playlist of all audio files or use the default audio/media player and build your own custom playlist(s).
I don't know about a compatible application on XP.

It's strange; I use playlists created by 770 Audio player in Canola with no problem.
You can try using PLC, which makes a single list and then make custom ones out of it (send it to a PC to make it easier to work on).

I tried to install canola and my N800 crashed twice. Worse yet, now I can't install any
new software, even software that I previously installed successfully. Thanks, canola! I get a message saying that the install is incompatible with current software.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix my n800? I want to be able to install software again, other than canola.
Thanks

I rebooted as instructed before running Canola for the first time however, I did not unplug the charger first...
The only way around it was to reflash using the Nokia Internet Tablet Software Update utility found >> HERE
Then reinstalling the software following the instructions.
I am now up and working.
Thanks to Marcelo for his help.
