Hi guys, before I begin the pitch to you all I just want to say that I do NOT want to make money off of anyone here and I also do NOT wish to take credit for others work.
I have just started to develop a new Music application which I have named "Zusix" (Zoo Zix). I would love this to be a community made application and thought XDA is the best place for this to occur. So lets get started:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you can see I have started on the layout and design of Zusix and have a good idea on the theme I want to use the colours also will change depending on the system theme. I have little knowledge of coding, this is where everyone fits in.
There will be no splash screen for the app and the first page when opening will be the now playing section of the panorama page. This section will display the playing artist, album, song name and will have a play, pause and skip/previous control. When a user taps the album art they will be taken to a now playing screen which will feature the full player screen (below) with the playing artist, album, song and will feature the playing controls and will display the next tracks etc.. below. The user can then swipe to the left to get artist info and maybe related items?
The next part will be the collection viewer, this is on the left of the Now Playing screen on the first panorama page and will be completely built into the first page (hopefully) and should make choosing a new song quicker.
The "Store" panoramic page will include a link to the store app and tiles of featured artists and albums for users to explore and discover.
The History page will contain previously played items - this page can also be allocated to something else im not sure what yet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, this is what I have so far; I just want to get an idea on who would like to take part, whether people think this is a good idea and some feedback on the design.
Thanks for reading!
Any questions about anything to do with the project just ask, I will be more than happy to try and help.
I have also uploaded the XAP for this project so people can get a feel for the design so far - baring in mind there is no functional use yet, its only a design preview.

I was playing with Groovefish last week (while it was still working) and realized that I really enjoyed searching for music by text (artist name, title, etc) instead of trying to sift through my lists of mp3s stored on the device.
It got me thinking- why aren't there any good music players out there that with a text search option?
I'm picturing it working on some sort of index, similar to the way you can type a contact name or subject/sender in messaging, and it will narrow down the list of options as you type in real-time.
For devices with keyboards, this would be an invaluable tool. Does something like this exist and I've just missed it? If not, how hard would it be to implement?
yes there is actually
I wrote such a program a (very long) while ago. A small part of it's interface is in hebrew but basically it is icon based. Also, it is written for QVGA devices and i don't know how it will run on WM 6.5 and later.
It is meant to be finger friendly and easy to operate while driving, that's why i chose to implement this kind of input method.
I stopped development in the middle of making a new, WVGA compatible version with a whole new interface based on ALPINE's car audio system and haven't continued since.
Some screenshots:

The search box is next to the magnifying glass icon and it updates the list in real-time.
You can download it here:

If you have any questions, hit the "i" button - my e-mail address is written there.
There's an awesome one called Windows Media Player. It comes with your device. You start typing and it filters
yeah- try using those tiny icons on a wvga display while driving, blue.
WMP is pretty terrible to use without a stylus, although it will sort through a list of titles as you type, now that you point it out. The problem, aside for the lack of finger friendliness, is that the search is only in the category u select.
In other words, I have to first click artist if I'm searching for an artist, or album if I want the album name. What I love about searching with groovefish is that I can type any part of the name, artist, album, etc, and it will find it on a whim. Being able to do that locally in real time would be extremely useful, especially with some nice big icons to click.
Gorel, my hebrew is a bit weak, but I can fake my way through it. Too bad you stopped development... theres really nothing else out there like this?
I'm sorry, not that i know of.
I may get back to deveploment now that i have my hd2 but it is very time consuming and it is very low on my priority list (i am not a pro)...
I think it is best if one of the developers here would incorporate this feature into his own software - it basically a simple sql query and shouldn't be too hard for a pro to implement.
edit: I just thought of something, assuming you have an hd2, you could use the zoom feature to make the program appear full screen!
Let me see... where did I put that hd2...
Sharing with you the project I've started for myself as i did with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147373

The idea is easy - listen to audiobooks from file system.
So - just copy your audiobook to the phone, select it from application and you're good to go.
If someone likes it - please leave a feedback here.
A lot is still missing from application, but it does the job for me and a lot is still to come.

Thank you so much, I just came to the WP world from Android and I use to listen to some MP3 Podcast every week, just downloading them to my phone and pressing play in Android. it looks like big MP3 files are not shown on the WP music player, and the sound player that opens when I try to open the file from the folder is just sad.
With your app now I can listen podcasts just choosing them, I can't play them on the background but when I go back to the app, it continues from where I left it.
Thanks again
Guess Them All!

Hi
43MB is a lot for the app.
The sample screenshots are absolut great too look at.
And then, I've clicked on first image after Download: Great feeling! Good job guys.
Again I hate ads on the top. I will uninstall if it goes fullscreen. But if not, it is ok. Those ads will take all the good look of your app
But the keying of images and the photos are great. Also the idea to have image templates in cloud.
How is it about copyright if I make my compilations public?
And why I am not able to select images from my whole picture gallery?
Regards
I will leave it on my phone and rate it 5*

First of all, thanks to this big community we recently joined.
Actually we have been working on this game this last month, My partner in business, my GF and me.
That's our first of many games that we are working on it so we want to give a little push up and we are listening to everything that can improve our apps, specially our first game!
Actually we are working to improve our Google play store presentation with a video and better game screenshots. And we are about to release an update with google services and fix for aspect ratio.
Also we put some ads so we are interested to hear in the way we show it if its so intrusive or its fine or we can change something.
At this moment there is no payment content.
Although we listen for game improves, bugs fixes and other suggestions.... Everything its welcome!

About the game:
We made this game thinking about how to make a game of geometry dash kind with a medium-high skill level. After all we decided to make 5 different games mode:
- Classic: We consider this our mainly playable mode, all you have to do its to dodge the incoming obstacles that come from the down of the screen. Just take it easy.
- Reverse: That's the same as classic but we changed the orientation side, for this that who prefer obstacles coming from the upper side.
- Frenzy: That's where the things start getting hard, to dodge the obstacles you have keep pressing the side or the the cube will come back and hit the obstacles!
- Frenzy Reverse: Same as before, but changing the orientation for those who like more
- Master mode: That's where the things get real hard and you want to kills us for making this kind of game, now you have one side going up and the other going down, with the play-style of frenzy, so you have to keep touching the screen to dodge! Prepare your fingers!!
Consider to download it and rate it, if you do it and you want we can rate back your application too .

The game is indeed insanely hard.
Also the description could've be polished a bit, as now it's made for play market.
I will try! THank you
