This is my hobby project, a MPD client for windows mobile. It doesn't actually PLAY music, it just controls the server that does the playing. It also launches a real music player pointed at the shoutcast stream generated by my server. My music is available to me anywhere my phone gets EVDO or wifi access.

The UI gets album art from amazon and has those nifty "kinetic" scrolling lists, where you flick your finger across the screen to make the list fly in that direction. I still want to do more to the UI, like caching album thumbnails and using them within the lists.

Now updated with album art thumbnails in playlists! Fetched in a background thread and updated on the fly when it's found.

I'm having way too much fun with this, considering it targets such a small "niche" of users with Windows Mobile devices and MPD servers.

Now if I could only find a way to coax some fancy transition animations from GDI+ on CF.NET. . .

I got jealous of all the fun apps the iPhone folks were getting, while the WM apps are usually so. . . bland. So I started writing my own. This is my latest hobby project, a WM twitter client.

A screenshot doesn't really do it justice, the kinetic list and side menus have to be seen.
