FAQ

 Q: What's new?
 A: Please check the change note.

 Q: My auth key does not work on my new tablet / I can't find the preference to enter auth key!
A: Sorry but due to technical issues, WiFi only tablets can't use auth key from PayPal. The Verifier app from Android Market will work.

Q: I can't edit playlists!
A: Playlist editing depends on your phone. You can do that by your phone's default Music application.

Q: I can't remove an item from a PlayQ!
A: Edit PlayQ -> long tap on the item will do the work.

 Q: I can't find the widgets!
A: Put Meridian back to your phone and reboot. That's why I didn't want to make Meridian installable to SD, but I'm tired to explain this to every mail.

 Q: I have all files duplicated in lists!
A: Go Android's settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> ALL tab -> Media Storage, and clear data. Then do a SD card rescan will make things back to normal.
