Is it possible to create a player for maemo with similar functionality like one of those
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1ONnggALIY
Or at least player with cue and pitch controls.
look at boxar and theremin for maemo.
these 2 apps are the closest so far and a few developers are working to expand these example apps into more usable musical apps for our devices.

I know boxar and theremin, cool but they aren't what i'm looking for.
I think I'm going to try and write the player myself.
I'm a person with a bit of "programming" knowledge
(turbo pascal long time ago, currently php as a day job)
What are best resources for me to look at in order to get this going.
Any suggestions?

I tried installing theremin, I got an install error with missing packages
libcariomm-1.0-1 (>= 1.2.0)
libglibmm-2.4.1c2a
and a few more.
What would be the best way/easiest way to obtain these?
this is what the author (igagis) requested I do which worked.
apt-get install libcairomm-1.0-1 libglibmm-2.4-1c2a libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a libhildon-fmmm libhildonmm libsigc++-2.0-0c2a
when installing a .deb file locally I believe tha app manager won't go get the updates required.

UI design for this application.
I'm now workign out which gtk widgets would be best to achieve the functionality intended(that's my first python project)

I'd suggest using gtk.Button, gtk.Label, gtk.DrawingArea (for the graph), and maybe gtk.Viewport.
maybe you can try to port terminatorX (http://terminatorx.org/) to IT, since it is a linux app that can simulate scratching and it is open source.
So want to DJing with N810!!:p:p
