A couple of things: 1) It would be best to get Jonathan's take on the UI. Without the maintainer involved it will be hard to get a lot of the changes. I would prefer to see understand where RB is going to go from his perspective as is proper. He may or may not have a roadmap on the UI. 2) Secondly, UI design should go through #gnome-design on IRC if we want to make it into a proper GNOME 3 app that fits with the GNOME 3 design. Also check the http://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Music which has some designs already on a music player. The problem with that design is that it seems to be applicable to a collection of files in a directory eg ~/Music. I'm not quite big on that as $HOME tends to grow quite big and being able to use a separate partition that could possibly on a shared disk might be a better idea. sri > I guess some of these proposals were already discussed, and maybe a few of > them have entries in Bugzilla.
