That would kick ass! Go for that! Command Line.

One question about the graphics of your MP3 player. what is that gray stuff in the middle? It looks like gray paint dripping down.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but that looks A LOT like one of the skins of Windoze Media Player... just because you can "do" round windows, doesn't mean they add anything to the user experience. In fact, I associate "round" media windows with impenetrable error messages concerning codecs that can't be found And there are gonna be more... anyone checked out VB for .NET? (It's pants)

I agree that if you're just learning how to program, that it might as well be an MP3 player, but if you're actually trying to compete with what's out there, you don't have much of a chance.

iTunes is free...which makes it hard to compete with it, and products like Audion are VERY robust, so you'd have to really come up with some innovative features for it to be a compelling switch for most.

A command-line mp3 players rocks! I think you should program one. If that one is in Cocoa, then it will be easy.

try making an mp3 player that works under OS 7.5 and on a 68030, or a hack that'll run OS X on my duo

The colors look a little wierd and it looks like shuffle doesn;t reall fit in the window but unless you let us beta test it we can't really tell what its like to use it. Also there should be a way to organize your music like in iTunes if you don't have that.

No offense, but making an mp3 player is fairly useless unless you can really "think dieefernt" and make something totally new. If you want a better visualizer for itunes, download G-Force, it integrates seamlessly with itunes
