Daniel,

I would be greatly interested in collaborating with you on this if you
are interested. Are you trying to create a music player, or the music
player that ships with Ubuntu Touch by default? If you want to produce
the default app, let's collaborate since I'm tasked with helping lead
that implementation effort within Canonical.

If you simply want to create a music app, I'd recommend checking out
the current media player lp:mediaplayer-app as well as
lp:qtubuntu-media to see how it utilizes the backend that I wrote.
There's still big plans for future enhancements to this, and I'd
welcome community interest and help. Please feel free to ask me any
questions about what currently exists, and I can lend you a hand if
you require it.

Regards,

Jim
