That plus visualizations and lyrics downloader would be an instant winner in my book. Oh and stutter-free FLAC decoding when doing other stuff.

If it's "great", people will pay for it.

Adding to fmo's list:
- Asian language support (display of file names and tags)
- File / folder browsing with file and folder playback options.
- MAFW support like MediaBox (allows volume control while locked)
- Big buttons mode like for when driving etc.
- Various full screen vIsualization effects option during playback
- Audio quality / experience improving effects options. (SRS WOW etc)

btw, are you good at making a video player also? Would love a good video player that manages to play up to 720p video files via using the DSP. (HW can do it but no SW can on N900 atm) With all the nice options such as zoom/pan/scan/ratio, bookmark support for certain times of the video, audio options etc. (or even a very nice front end of mplayer - alternatives to kmplayer or sib)

It would be really fun to do, but i'd like to see how many would buy it.

(PS. in autumn me and a friend will probably add to ovi an app useful for wardriving (GUI) )
I don't think too many people would buy a music player app . . . even for 99 cents because ever phone already comes with an app for that.

But I think a better idea would to be to hook the App up too amazon that way you can earn PC off every purchase they make and it could (IN THE LONG RUN) Add up too alot more.

MAKE THE MUSIC PLAYER FILL IN EMPTY ALBUM ART!!!!

You can use the Yahoo image search api for that

And show them related artists . . . Also using Yahoo's Related Searches api and BANG you got a kick *** free music player than generates income !!!!

This is the same model that Firefox took and they are quite successful.

You can't sell a Web Browser. Your PC comes with IE for free but if your free browser kicks but than you make money on the advertising fees.

For each artist give uses the option to search with a Google Custom search or to shop for mp3's on amazon!

Bang now you got two streams on income that will only stop when people stop using your app!


They better it is the more people will use it and tell their friends about it.

Build in some TELL-A-FRIEND social networking nagging once in a while and it could end up making you allot more money than you every could have made by tring to sell it for .99 cents to users who have never ever tried it or heard of it.

Since mm apps needs to block the screen dimming for video anyhow, it's easy to use that same routine for volume keys.
Something like this is add to kmplayer-0.4.900 (extras-devel)

if (has_video) {
osso_display_blanking_pause (osso_context);
} else {
DBusConnection *conn = (DBusConnection *)
osso_get_sys_dbus_connection (osso_context);
DBusMessage *msg = dbus_message_new_method_call (MCE_SERVICE,
MCE_REQUEST_PATH, MCE_REQUEST_IF, "req_keypad_off_pause");
dbus_connection_send (conn, msg, NULL);
dbus_connection_flush (conn);
dbus_message_unref (msg);
}

(else branch keeping the hardware keys alive).
IIRC, there is even a simpler osso function for that, but makes the app depend on pr1.2, so I did it like this

I also think that these are great features in a media player but what i would personally pay money for is a PATCH for the default media player that would fix what everyone is complaining about considering that it already has some of the list above ,so in my opinion why create something from scratch when you can do much less of the work for greater benefit ( overall improvement for the the n900).
anyway thats just me .

Thanx.
