Tech Corner
So as a little project in my spare time I decided to start creating my own Java-based music player. The inspiration for the current version are Linux music players like Audacious and DeaDBeaF with their simple lightweight layout and use of a file browser rather than built-in media filter like what you get with foobar2000 and WinAmp. It's a bit short on features at the moment but it plays mp3 files pretty well, reads ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags with no problems and displays the album artwork. There's still a few bugs to iron out and features like volume control, seekbar and maybe an user interface redesign to implement. After that my big challenge is to implement Last.fm scrobbling which would awesome if I could get working. I might create a download for it when I create a proper stable version.
