It works but it has some bugs:
- Doesn't install on the SD card (I have a driver to support 4Gb cards otherwise my device would only support 2Gb, maybe that's the reason, but it's the 1st time it happens)
- When playing, the "file menu" only has a loop option, but I can glimpse a second menu line trying to appear (1 pixel height). Is it supposed to be that way?
- Doesn't support some mp3 (can't find a pattern here)
- The top arrow buttons 'now playing' and 'Base' have a font too small and jagged.
And now some suggestions/improvements:
- When clicking the playlist, the stars could be smaller (too much realstate)
- Is it really necessary to cache the album art? it adds many dozens of small files to my storage card, increasing fragmentation, and besides, the album art is too small when showed in the library anyway; I only want it when playing the songs. At least make an option to turn it of, please.
- And specially, support for AAC/m4a files. Why supporting only mp3, since there are other codecs which for the same ammount of quality create files with a smaller file size? this is very important when dealing with devices with limited storage capability such the ones your player is made for.
And for the ones claiming that it's very similar to S2P, well, S2P is a clone of the excellent iPhone player... although the question remains: why having this instead of S2P? Well, if you want to make yours better, add support for AAC audio (which is the most advanced ou there), or at least OGG Vorbis.
The lack of this feature is by far the biggest limitation of S2P, and if you added this feature, it would definetly make your player stand out from S2P, which actually isn't even a player at all, but just a fancy interface for Windows media player.
If you don't know how to do this, make you player modular so others could make plugins for many formats, or use some open source player engines (like Nitrogen I think), that way you could use it's input plugins.
Best regards, and I hope you find my suggestions usefull.
