There have been a few aesthetic changes on the website recently, but today a "music" tab appeared next to "media" under a workout. I'm scheduled for indoor track work today but will do a supplemental workout, listening to music, just to try it out.
Also noticed the Nokia Research Center SportsTracker page now redirects to the SportsTracker homepage.
Morning,
I notice those to changes too this morning. Word of warning. When I have run with my N95 8Gb using Sports Tracker and listening to m4a audio files on Nokia Music Player and the NST lap function the GPS reception has been useless.
althuo I suppose as you are doing indoor track work the GPS reception will probably be pretty poor anyway.

First, Congratulations on another badge honor. I suppose if I ever want to be eligible for one I'll have to spend time on some of the other app forums.
I normally listen to music OTA through my local provider, 3 Sweden, which I get for free with my plan. Those music streams use my e61's Real player so tracks wont show in workouts. I did find an older workout when I used my e61's Music Player, NST app with lap function running here: http://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/workoutdetail/index.do?id=558887
Regarding indoor workouts, l tried it last week just to see but it cut off right away. I kept and edited the workout and added my results (Yasso 800's) in a snapshot. http://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/workoutdetail/index.do?id=741664
Nokia are experimenting with an indoor tracking infrastucture in Helsinki and a few other locales. That would be very cool.
Thanks
Looks like your E61 doesn't have the Music Player v. NST issues my N95 8Gb had.
See thread: http://betalabs.nokia.com/forum/topic/900
I should try running with Music Playing again to see if I still have the problem with the latest firmware (31.0.015). My previous thread (above) was using FW 30.0.018.

The music tab works fine. Some tracks are displayed twice. Don't know why. Example: https://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/workoutdetail/index.do?id=749330
While simultaneously listening to music using Nokia's Music Player with NST, it appears that if a workout is paused, either manually or automatically, the currently played track is re-stamped for a double instance upon resuming the workout.

We have new features as of April 8,2009!
The first things I noticed:
-Manual creation of workouts now MEASURES the route as you draw it.
-A change to workout sharing now improves the choices when selecting "Show to Groups" or "Private".
-In Community view, Photos, Video and Music has been rolled into one category, "Extras".
I'll continue to sift through it all and report on any further enhancements.
Nice work NST Dudes!

I just noticed another enhancement:
When you leave comments anywhere on the site, there's now a "Characters left" count.
Previously, many comments were truncated because the author didn't know they were out of room. 255 characters in all.
Fixed!

Good Work NST Dudes.
Also good work David. Saving me a load of time searching out the new features. Who needs a change log when we've got you in teh forums. "Not that this is an excuse for the NST Dudes not advising).
@David: Are you sure your not on the team?

1.) Character count has increased tenfold for comments and workout notes. No more truncated messages!
2.) The workout graphs to the right of the map in workout view seem more interactive than ever. I've known that mouse-overs in the graphs display mini summaries for each of the statistics. I had not previously noticed that a mouse-over on the bottom bar showed a mini summary of laps.
I particularly like the corresponding red dot on the workout path synched with the data in the graphs when mousing-over them. Especially now that I have heart rate added, I can see exactly where my max efforts are recorded.

No. 2 did exist already, but No.1 is new.
I noticed No.2 a few weeks ago. Noticed No.1 last night.

I'll ask you because you seem to have used it a lot: When did the NST download page change to its present style?
Is there another NBL app which has as many different software variations? No wonder why the devs are so busy.

The download page changed about two weeks ago. My frustration is that it points N95 8Gb to the non "STEPS" version of 2.06, but points the N95-1 and N95-3 NAM to the "STEPS" version of 2.06. Can't find out why.
I'm using a version I got via e-mail from a helpful gent and have been told by droozel that the version linked to the N95-1 and N95-3 NAM don't work on his N95 8Gb although the version I have, with the same file name, does. All very interesting.
You could also ask how many NBL apps support so many different phone too.
