Pocket Tunes WQVGA Skin

Skyline987 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-18-2009, 01:42 AM

I was looking for a nice media player that would work with last.fm and display album art that was embedded in tags and the only thing i could come up with was Pocket Tunes. I didnt like that it didnt fill the screen and i couldnt get it to play nice it WVGAFix. Anyway i was feeling ambitious and whipped up a WQVGA Skin. This is the first skin ive made in a while so im a little rusty so please leave some suggestions. Enjoy!

Known Issues

Track Time in landscape mode is under album art (Fixed)
Text color is too similar to the background color. (Fixed)
Navigation Controls using the d-pad dont highlight correctly (Fixed)
Down button for playlist scrolling doesn't work (Fixed)

I'd fix these now but i've been working on this for about 4 straight hours of just coding and my heads going to explode.

Thanks for this!

How do you get Windows Media Player to show embedded art?

I thought it only shows album art if the JPEG was in the same folder as the album, and each album had to be in a separate folder. It's the biggest gripe I have against using WMP.

Yea thats what i thought too. I tried the free version of Kinoma and i like the interface and the ability to show art embedded in tags but when i tried to exit it locked up the phone and i had to soft reset.

Just play it.

I embedded with Media Monkey. Stuff I bought off of Amazon is already embedded, and it works too.

I bet that's the answer. All my MP3's had artwork originally added through iTunes and I bet there's an incompatibility between how iTunes and Media Player stores the image in the ID3 tags. Oh well, maybe someday I'll fix it.

Thanks.
