BadBerry
It had to happen - my first problems with the BlackBerry Bold. I've run into the well-documented 999 songs issue, despite only copying 827 so far. The native media player, which is otherwise pretty excellent, has problems with large playlists and some albums resolutely fail to show up despite appearing on the SD card itself...
Strangely, though, although the album contents appeared to be blank when browsing by artist, they're there when browsing by album. Seems that the music player software could do with some more development.
It's much better though, than the freeware x-player. I had high hopes at first but it is sadly lacking in basic useability, for example in sorting tracks by number instead of in alphebetical order, and its playlist navigation is, frankly, poor.
I'm sticking with the bundled BB music player for now. It's clear that the Bold is first and foremost a communications machine and secondly an entertainment device but yeah, I did want the best of both worlds.
