Not that i'm steping up or anything, but i've aready thought about that

My idea is to create a watch on the XML file and when it changes, update AMP's DB. The real question is how to best do it without impacting the user (since it is possible that the song they are listening to no longer exists in the list/album/artist they are currently in (not to mention entire lists going away).

Ugh. I'll try not to laugh at your code, but I might have to kill you for the Delegate code. 122 double sided pages to print (though to be fair, XCode appears to use a giant font size for printing I think there are only 20 lines per side )

I think I know the first thing i'll tackle before playing with features

Thanks,

Actually after a brief look through the code, i'm impressed. In the key ways, your code is better than a lot I have seen from people that have been programming for a decade. Your code is clear and easy to follow, and your notes appear to be in the right places to answer the "huh?" moments. I'm not saying you don't have room to improve, but I think you could make a good career as a programmer if you wanted to

And I am usually super critical of others code (but i'm also used to having to go through crap that people were paid for ). Kudos for the good work

I have never programmed in coca before but i may mess around to see what i can do....just wodering if these would be easy things to do for someone who knew what they were doing?

For the 800x600, it's a bit more than just expanding the window. If you don't adjust the elements or add new things, then you still have 800x120 of empty pixels. Not that it can't be done, just that it isn't just a simple thing. I prefer the 800x600 resolution myself, so a 800x600 option with additional features is something i'm considering. I'm thinking of a toolbar with icons for some of the other features (photo, movies, web browser, desktop, etc..). I already have too many ideas and i've barely skimmed the code

On the Library issue. He is storing the info in CoreData which I have barely any experience with yet. If all the data is there and he is simply not including it in the playlist list, then it should be as simple and "re"-including it. If he is doing something else, then it depends on what he is doing.
