Awesome! This is some really good work!

A few questions:

1) Is it written in C++ or VB?
2) Are you using a database to store file info?

I'm looking forward to the first release.

Looks good. Always interesting to see what film titles are translated as too!

Got it installed no problem. Wow - my french is REALLY rusty

I installed it as well, looks good needs some refinements though. But that is to be expected because it's not even classified as "beta". You've got a great start though.

Few things it would be nice to have an english version as previously mentioned so I can figure some of it out. altavista has helped give me a basic idea of what it is though

Did you change the skin? It all looks different. I'd like the one posted in the screenshots with the smaller vis and track list as well as the album view in the audio player.

Can you make that available too?

The blue skin will be the default in the next version. Coming in approximatively 2 weeks

I use no database... and all is coded in VB6

Just tested neosuit. My first 5 min impressions were quite good

Excellent work so far. Congratulations.

Even if I can read French ( almost

) , I think you should make it multilingual. I would be more than happy to help translate it the best I can, to English and Portuguese.

I noticed that all the strings are hard coded, at least for the configurator and the skin editor. You should make then into some xml so we could edit them.

On the skins, I couldn’t find a way to add text controls or labels. Did I miss something or the text labels must be in the JPG's?? It would make a lot harder any localization of the skins.

keep the good work

Only nmc is actually ready for multilingual.. but neocar manager and the skin workshop are easy to update also

On the skins, you can modify the texts in the skin editor, or in neocar manager.. in skin workshop, just select a text, and then at the left, you can see "Format du texte:"

This is text format.. in neocar manager you can see in the infobox the formats accepted

(or in controls.xml)

Example: for the track title on top of audio module, the text format is "%artist - %title" (in french by the way..)

Today if i have time, i will start to code the multilingual module
