Well I have taken the plunge and started coding my own frontend.. It so far does music / video / gps ... its coming along quite fast.
All the development work is being done over on
www.digital-car.co.uk which are UK carpc forums... I will however switch it to my FreeDrive forums once its into beta stages.
It is a windows media player based frontend written in VB6 with a flash front.
I am trying to make it out of the box as much as possible.
Here are a couple of screenshots
grab it from..

HOW TO INSTALL
Download / unzip
If you want to embed a gps app, open up fi.ini and put its Windowname , Path in there..
You can configure the Music / Video path from within FreeICE, just goto the browser and press drive, surf to the correct path and press and hold the music/video tab until the confirm box appears.. :-)
To load everything in a folder, just press and hold that folder until a message appears :-)
I have been doing daily updates over on digitalcar..
hope you like it so far..
Skully :-)
