ok everybody, i have some updates about the project that brings all a little bit closer to a usable app. first off i have finished up some little things like getting the app to remember what page you are looking at and what song you are listening to and things like that, so that if you get up in the morning and jump in your car, only to find out that your mini has completely shutdown (or if you have your power settings set to shutdown every time) and is now rebooting, that the app will start up exactly where you left off, playing the same song. this next week i will perfect that function so that the song will even start playing at the exact time that the app was shutdown.

there is another function that i added this week that i think some people will really like. that is coverFlow! for the album view i have decided to add a little spice to the whole thing. the only prob with the coverflow at this point is the stupid itunes .itc files and the way they keep you from using them in third party apps. the good news is that i am writing a flex app that will let you sift through all of your "protected" album art that itunes uses, and then converts it either to a .jpg or a .png. the app isnt quite finished yet so while coverflow tech works there is no way to actually show your current album art on your computer. everybody can say thank you to apple and their crappy way of trying make things difficult for the little guys like me.

other than that everything else is coming together rather well. the app is stable and very usable as is. however it is just not at a state where it is ready to just be given out to everybody, but it shouldn't be much longer now.

below are some screen shots for everybody to take a look at

remember the coverflow is not actually displaying actual image art at the moment, but that will change very shortly

also the picture where everything is white is the daytime view that can be activated. let me know what you guys think
