[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Steven855:
I have made a media player for windows phone and the goal of it is to expand on features that other media players don't have (including the default zune player) and improve on the faults that other media players have.

This media player is designed to give you a better music listening experience than what the default Zune player offers.

Changelog

v2.0.1: fixed bug where the button to move an item up in the playlist editor wasn't working; miscellaneous fixes

v2.0: major code revision for a smoother experience; new buttons for playback controls; ability to save items in Now Playing when app is closed and reopened (paid version); fix for import from now playing bug with new (blank) playlist in playlist editor; easily rename custom playlists

v1.4: can pin playlist to home screen as live tile (via playlist editor loading menu); fixed song fetching function bug where app would crash if artist name didn't match albums; fixed import from now playing bug which crashes app; fixed state restore bug; fixed performance-related bugs

v1.3: delete items from playlist or now playing via popup menu (press and hold); added feature to set a picture in your albums as the player background; fixed performance-related bugs

v1.2: fixed bug in which app would crash while in the playlist editor if you navigated away from the app and then navigated back to it; fixed song import from zune playing queue bug; fixed performannce-related bugs

v1.1: first free-version release

Features include:

* big buttons

* landscape support

* search music library for any artist, album, or song

* ability to shift song order in Now Playing or a Playlist

* playlist creation/editing

* (partial) integration with existing playlists synced through Zune

* ability to see contents of more than one album at once

* run under the lockscreen

* ability to set a picture in your picture albums as player background

Future improvements include fetching album art from Amazon.com and more icon sets. Expansion to video and streaming audio is also included in the roadmap.

I will take any and all suggestions for improvement (both the free version and the paid version). If you find something, please post either on the support page or here in this thread. If you like my media player, please rate it on the marketplace.

Warning: After uploading the current version to the marketplace, I discovered that the bug with importing songs into a playlist from the Now Playing which causes the program to crash is back. This only happens if you try to import from Now Playing for a blank playlist (nothing had been added or removed yet). A workaround for this is to add a song to the playlist in the playlist editor (even if you aren't going to add it to your playlist), and then import from Now Playing and remove the song you added (if you don't want to keep it). This bug is present in both the paid version and the free, ad-supported version. I am very sorry for this and I will be uploading a fixed version to the marketplace for certification as soon as possible.

Update(4-2-2012): Version with bug fix currently in apphub certification

Update(5-22-2012): even though it's been out in the marketplace for a couple weeks, Version 1.4 is now out for both paid and free, ad-supported versions

Update(2-26-2013): It's been awhile since I last updated this post with the current status of Mobile Media Manager, but the latest version out is version 2.0.1 (for both free and paid versions). I am planning to release a new (maintenance) version soon (but it does have some new stuff in it too), so I need some testers who can give me some helpful input on how to improve.
