FAQ moved here: http://www.xenoamp.info/index.php/faq

Q: What other features are in the work?

Priority:

- New, short and nice tutorial (- a small button, maybe in the corner would open the contextual tutorial so if the user wants to remember something, he wouldn't need to re-trigger all the tutorials. the tutorials might be more user friendly, maybe next and back buttons or right and left sweeping, and have the same or a close background color. I'm kind of thinking of a theme concept for the app, but won't share anything before it's done.)

- Bring back pinch to zoom

secondary:

- Time display problem with >1h tracks

- Can we get some better feedback on which covers are from embedded and which not when choosing an icon for an album?

- Nagger

- add CD-like mask for cover on WPS & lockscreen

- subsonic browsing

- gmusic browsing

- fix voice search bug

further enhancments:

- "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to dimension: type=0x2" in wizard

- MbID not read/written by xenoamp

- add special tags to m3u8 (proposed: sort order for autoshuffling, cursor position, playlist stack data, one-shoot track [for rockbox-style queuing])

- Music cabinet http://dilerium.se/musiccabinet/

- "Ivory" skin - it is there, but unpolished. Still ebony patches here and there

- Support multiple genres per track

- Proper support of multiple artists per track

- Guitar chords, sheet music?

- Pref: customize colors

- Tasker support - tell about media playing

- Use Volume up/down as pause

- Think about new concert view

- Smart continuator

- string filter in query view

- add label field to xeno database to enhance audiofreak factor

- Itunes synchronization (anyone able to explain what that means?)

- Find tags by Musicbrainz fingerprint
