Well done and thanks for putting out a simple, clean front end that is expandable.

Thanks. I liked what Bobby did with AMP's look and feel as it had a decidedly Mac feel to it, but it had more stuff than I cared about in it. Getting around is also cumbersome at times (e.g. getting to the Desktop is 5 commands from listening to music with the track info window open).Quote:

It will be. I developed it on the WWDC beta of 10.5 and XCode 3, so the project and NIB files aren't compatible with the versions of XCode on 10.4. Assuming i'm not swamped at the time, i'll open source it right about the time 10.5 is released.Quote:

It works on my G4 dual 1ghz.
How do you pick particular artist?
Also, I presume that the far lower right hand button that says "off" is the repeat button?
Really cool! I am currently working on a Mac Mini in my car, so I'd be glad to help making a good OS X frontend - as soon as Leopard is available.
Is it planned to have the interface changeable as well, e.g. with a plugin? I'm from Germany and the local Apple distributors are currently having an "iPhone on Tour" and I got my hands on it last monday, so now I'm really excited about having a frontend with at least a similar interface.
Good to know. It ran great the last few days on our trip to the beach. I did find a couple bugs regarding having multiple iPods connected, but otherwise I didn't find any issues.Quote:

2) After ejecting the Nano, it's playlists stayed in the list as available but did nothing when I tried to use them.
If anyone else can reproduce this and give me more info, i'd appreciate it.
Use iTunes ;)Quote:

Honestly that isn't something I do so I didn't bother. My wife does listen to music that way (and by album), so it is something I will put in my iTunes replacement but that is probably awhile off yet.
Yeap. It should cycle through "off", "all", and "one". That and the "(no) mix" buttons will make more sense once there are real graphics for them.Quote:

This is not something i'm currently planning. You could (assuming that you are familiar with IB) rework the NIB file yourself, but that still wouldn't give you an iPhone look and feel.Quote:

I like what you have going here. I'd like to raise my hand in encouragement.
Also, your app works on my Powerbook 1.67 Ghz G4 (OS X 10.4.10)
I'll keep a close eye on your project.
is there a way to get an RSS feed of just this thread?
Not that I know of, but if you go to the top of the page you can use "Subscribe to this thread" in the Thread Tools and set it up to notify you when posts are made.Quote:
