Re: Music app.

 

Hey Jim,

It's in the link I included in the previous mail: 
http://notyetthere.org/?page_id=25

You can see some N9 screenshots and have a link to the source code.

Please keep in mind that this is by no means finished or polished. However its 
good enough that I use it as my daily music player for a whole year now.

Cheers,
Michael
