FOR SCREEN SHOTS PLEASE SEE
http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=22104
Have you ever seen software delivered BEFORE the estimated time?
well if u havent then u have now
I promised 8 pm eastern, its now 6:02 eastern.
pls install and trash it (please please)
I see 60 views of my threads, but not a single reply, shame on all of you
notes after installation
1. go to C:\Program Files\iMetaSoft\iCarputer , there is a file called settings.xml, open it in NOTEPAD and edit the sourceDir and DestinationDir for the file synching to work (havent implemented a way to pick them yet).
2. 3 Colour Schemes available(I will later provide the photoshop file for anyone that want to make their own scheme)
3. For artists picture to show up when you select a album, u must have a a picture 241x241 named artist.gif in the directory your selecting. other wise the default artist picture will show up.
System Requirements: WMP9, .NET Framework 1.1

Well,,, it has a nice clean appearance, I can see it being a nice mp3-only player, but for my personal taste, I like something with video, gps, etc... Looks like you are on the right track though,

your right 
it is just a mp3 player (well video player too, just not dvd yet)
this is first part of my "iCarputer" ,
after i am finished developing this, i will be working on the gps system.
I like to perfect things before i start soemthing else.
I will be using this myself so i will try to make it as good as it gets |

yes I'm in canada.
Quebec more specifically.
The laws around here state that you cannot have a screen that the driver would be able to see... but I am really certain a GPS program is suitable, since we have onstar selling their stuff around without any special liscences.
Basically, a GPS is a map, not a TV screen, so I guess you can state it not being a screen. Anyway, MP3 visualisation tools, movies and the like should not be an available option for a dash screen in order to be sure not to have problems ifever the cops asks about this fancy equipment you have... maybe having a way to disable it within installation???
