Re: Music app.

 

Hey guys,

I guess you guys should get a mybalsamiq account
first<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps/Design#Design_Suggestions>
and
sketch things out there.

Also, for some reason the core apps
project<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps> does
not include a Music/Media player. Any idea why would that be?
