| − | Can you upload a video miodeng it please. Also, some UI changes should happen, go with the gold elements more, and use less elements from the default apple kit. Or the other way around. Question, is there a music visualization section where you can see the music? Also, don't you think the amount of time left in the song should be beneath the back arrow? Maybe the volume bar could be gold? I'm just throwing things out here. Might wait a bit to see how this app matures, then buy. I want a good flac player to use with my iPod since I have been disappointed with the standard music player. Here is a hint, take cues from the Zune player on Zune HD and Windows Phone 7, they are among the best in user experience.
