Hello again!

As a byproduct of the work I am doing, I began an audio player [software], using wxWidgets and C++ [same old,same old] plus an open source cross platform library named Audiere . Using that it will be able to play Ogg Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, WAV [uncompressed], AIFF and some other quite uncommon formats like MOD, S3M, XM and IT.

Not a lot of work is needed, from where I am already. But I would like to implement a feature so that the player is able to retrieve the lyrics [based on the files tags], from online sources, displaying them while the song is played.

Here is a screenshot:

Other main features would be, all-in-one window interface, multi playlist handling,no needed installer, lightweight and a small implementation of a media library.

I am not sure about the Transcode [tab on the picture], but if its not that, it will be a tag editor.

To the right direction

Today I checked out the new KOffice, which is totally moving to the right direction. Well or I am :)

Just check the screenshots posted:

KWord screenshots, KSpread screenshots, KPresenter screenshots, Krita screenshots, Karbon screenshots

They've obviously began using a sidebar, which accommodates various toolbars. A nice improvement, plus whats shown there dynamically changes. Very nice indeed. Hmmm... Well if it was a tabbed suite I'd have a lot to consider...
