If it is about dropping support, well no. I have been doing Quasar Media Player since the good old Zaurus days (2005) and have ported it to every device I have owned since then. This is about scratching my itch and "dogfooding" it every day. QuasarMX is just a new incarnation with a more refined user interface.

They were "told" to cease development, supposedly by Nokia, via email. No reason was given AFAIK and they went ahead and stopped work on the Maemo5 version.

Very nice work, EvilJazz! If a beta comes out for the N900. I'll be happy to test it. Looks for the UI are not in my taste but other than that, this player is amazing.

evilJazz, thanks for your attention in this thread and your outstanding work. Is there any chance you are planning to add an option to edit IDv1/ IDv2 and Vorbis tags? That would quite helpful.

Yes, a proper tag editor is actually the last feature that is left in order to ditch iTunes on my main system.
It is on the long-term feature list, but I can not make any promises yet. QuasarMX has to get feature parity with Quasar Media Player first, eg. the missing play list manager and a desktop UI.

Now back to squashing the last bugs in Beta 2.

nisheet, all good things come to those who wait, my young padawan. Let eviljazz work. There's no rush, is there?

Re: QuasarMX - Awesome music player!
 
One more idea. I just reviewed what's up with your cover search engine, eviljazz, and I believe that you may want to consider using another sources, something more international and way more complete so it can find covers for anything, not just mainstream stuff. buy.com or walmart won't suffice so very often. let's be serious about covers.

How about discogs.com? Quite an excellent database with covers with very well documented database API:
http://www.discogs.com/developers/
http://www.discogs.com/developers/re...e/release.html

Got already three albums (out of 8 I copied to the phone) which covers the player cannot find. Obviously I will attach my own cover.jpg in the future, yet a properly complex cover database would surely be a nice feature making the player even better.
