But the scanning of SD card does not work: I indicate where the multimedia files are in the directory selection, and at the very beginning or when I click on "refresh" I get a "can't access SD card" on the top of the screen and no scanning happens. Pity, because sound seems really great. This has made Meridian unusable for me. Looks great when I open music files in my Android phone from SD card.

You mean MPEG2. Most MPG files are MPEG-2 format, not MPEG-1, as you state in your post. All DVDs are MPEG2 format straight from Hollywood, and when you rip them down, you just compress the bitrate used, if going to an MPG file, but it is still an MPEG-2, not MPEG-1, sorry.

Granted, the only reason that genre is missing from the Android OS is merely a faulty line in the code (looking at the code, one can clearly see in the Music App section, the Genre model, with it's incorrect references to basically non-existent code, where it should be "part of the loop", but isn't - fixed in 2.1.1, which of course is the build that will be pushed in less than a week out to Eris, Droid, then finally the Nexus One, and in that specific order, btw) And in reviewing, you missed mentioning (even casually) probably the REAL reason that Meridian is better than the Out-of-box Droid Media Player: it has GENRE!

Works pretty dang good.

Also started to freeze since the last update. Hope you sort these out soon as Im relegated to default player on HTC Magic Started to get disappointed with this, it only plays approx 70 tracks out of over 1000 on a playlist( I work nights, need music) and its normally the same 70ish tracks.
