here we are everybody, i have here a stable version of my new front end for you guys to try out. this is a near complete version, meaning, all the audio functions should work, but there are still some features that are not complete with the rest of the app.

with this build, i have officially given itunes the boot. my app no longer relies on itunes to get its info. when you first install the app it will ask you for the location of your music folder and it will build out a xml file accordingly. one note on that, i built my app using a Artist/Album/Song music folder structure. this is how my app will look at your folder. Also if you want to use the cover flow function, you will need to make sure that inside of the album folder (along with the album's songs) you will have the cover art for that particular album. if you don't have the album art and you want to use the album art downloaded by itunes then my app will decode all the album art from itunes and will put it in a folder named "NASArt" in your documents folder. you can then use those images to copy them into the corresponding albums ( i know that this is kind of a pain, but there just is no other way to associate the images with the album).

in this release, the app will play mp3, m4a, aac. it will not play protected files. i have only done minor bug testing, so if you run across a bug please let me know.

i hope you guys enjoy!
