New media player :)

I know, there are too many media players. Amarok, Clementine, Exaile, RhythmBox, iTunes, Banshee, Listen!, WinAmp, Audacious, Beep Media Player, and another dozens I can't remember now.
But I decided to start my own media player. For many reasons: I needed some idea to start to learn Qt; I miss the old Amarok 1.x; and all new players want to be iTunes (I just don't like the way iTunes handle playlists, sorry).
It's available on GitHub under http://github.com/esdrasbeleza/audactile . And no, you can't replace your current media player yet. It's still under very beginning of development.
A screenshot of what's done til now:

The interface is simple and that is perfect. But I didn't like the icons. :)

Thanks :)
The icons aren't from application, but from the theme:
@
playButton->setIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("media-playback-start"));
stopButton->setIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("media-playback-stop"));
nextButton->setIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("media-skip-forward"));
previousButton->setIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("media-skip-backward"));
prefButton->setIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("preferences-other"));
exitButton->setIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("application-exit"));

Little bit out of topic but be aware that to get the desktop icons using the QIcon::fromTheme() will work only on X11 by its standard icon naming convention ("http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html(http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html)":http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html), read more here: ("http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6-snapshot/qicon.html#fromTheme(http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6-snapshot/qicon.html#fromTheme)":http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6-snapshot/qicon.html#fromTheme)

I like the UI! Looks very clean and easy to use.

Might I recommend using "liblastfm":http://github.com/mxcl/liblastfm? We use it in Amarok, and it provides a complete Qt/C++ interface to lastfm. Looks like the lastfm code you've got now works, but if you want to expand you don't need to rewrite it all from scratch.

UI is great!
I am also working on a video player project with remote control support from a Nokia device, I will post the details when it's ready here in the forums :D

Hi Esdras,
Nice and clean UI..
I thing placing the play/pause/seek button in the bottom of the application will be great ( personal choice).
Keep on coding.

There's always room for one more media player :)
There's a player I recently found about (that I currently use from time to timewhen I have problems with Amarok's development version) - http://flavio.tordini.org/minitunes - you could possibly pick a few tricks from it.
