Beta6 and mp3

The new media player has been great so far for video, no stuttering at all. But I still cannot access ay of my mp3’s or other audio files. I was under the impression that this was addressed in the new player. Am I missing something obvious?

No, as far as I am aware support for mp3 files is still a restriction in beta 6 and therefore is an outstanding issue.   It is one thing I still need to use XBMC for. I think that the key point behind beta 6 was trying to get video drmatically improved, and the new Media player in place as the start of a more incremental series of updates.    Hopefully this might mean mp3 support sneaking in during one of these incrments?

+1

Hopefully they also will sort out reading the iTunes library file on an netHDD to allow playback of music without the need for a laptop running?
