Re: Music app.

 

Hi,

Lovely!

The code is up, and its quite simple - though it doesn't really do what I want it to yet..

I'm studying at the University of Gothenburg full time, and this app is kind of my free time project between books and papers to hand in, so I haven't had the time to submit any images - until now:

The huge icon is just a place holder for a album cover.

Hey,

I would love to start contributing on the music app too!

But i'm just wondering, before diving into actually coding, don't you want to design the UI and get an idea from the community if it follows the guidelines or not? Yes we could all download the code and try running it ourselves to see the UI but i'm just wondering because its going to be easier to put pictures of the app design :)

    Hi again,

    I've started on the UI and just done some small stuff. I created
    this in like two hours. I'm still figuring out a lot of things
    since I've never coded an app and usually code web.
    But it's a lot of fun, so we'll see where it takes.

    And perhaps it's better to use mpd, which was said earlier. We'll
    have to code a cover downloader, srcobble support and more, though.

    Anyways, here is my repo: https://launchpad.net/musicapp

        Hi again,

        I've started to code on this application now. I don't know if
        I should
        set up a separate project on Launchpad, or what?
        It's just a little piece of the UI, but hey - it's a start ;)

        I'd like some pointers since this is my first application.

            Hi again,

            What a response! Wonderful!

            I was thinking of Rhythmbox since its bundled with Ubuntu
            as default.
            And you'll have the same playlists, settings for eg.
            Last.fm and such
            things.

            I'd love to see this becoming the default music app in
            Ubuntu Touch,
            and I'd gladly share the work with anyone wanting to join.

            I'll try to create a UI demo in Qt Creator later this
            week, so I can
            show you how I imagine it. Also I'd happily join the meeting.

                What about using MPD as a backend? May be less
                resource intensive as a
                backend, shouldn't have a problem compiling as is, and
                possibly
                simpler to build your interface from scratch on top of
                MPD instead of
                trying to work with rhythmbox's.

                V.I.

                    Hi all,

                    I'm thinking about creating a music application.
                    I'm in an early
                    stage of learning to code for QML to begin with,
                    but I have some
                    concerns for the future.

                    I'm thinking about creating an application that
                    really uses Rhythmbox
                    as an backend, but using $ rhythmbox-client. Since
                    its Ubuntus
                    default music player, I mean.
                    So just a easy UI with buttons for previous, next
                    track, play/pause,
                    stop, playlist and so on. Press a button and a flag to
                    rhythmbox-client is sent.

                    What are you guys' thoughts on this? Is it
                    possible to have rhythmbox
                    running in the background instead of writing a
                    completely new music
                    player?
