I would really like to thank everyone who have tested and commented on nqaap do far. As you may have guessed it is my first open source app released to the public, and all your kind words and support are a big deal to me.

Anyways, the version currently in testing is 0.7.2 and this version has the "click 'n' go" seekbar perviously suggested,

And now for your comments:

I don't think it is quite there yet, but thanks for the confidence.

I'm not sure, as mentioned above the actual playback is done with the gstreamer tool/library included in the phone. All nqaap is really doing is keeping track of feeding gstreamer the files in the right order. So if gstreamer supports a4b (and some quick googling suggests it does at least support aac) it could possibly work. I will look into it further, do you know where I can get such files for testing?

That might be a good idea actually. I am not really a GUI-design guy so I am looking for design/ usability ideas. Also the icon is ghastly (I drew it myself).

I am also interested in this. From what I can tell it is using about the same amount of CPU as using the mediaplayer, but there might be other things.

Thanks for the application; I look forward to trying it out on the N900.
Yeah, I do use those... I think the only promise I can give with regards to Diablo is that if someone is interested enough to attempt it I will help all I can. The program is written in python (and not a whole lot of it), and I have attempted to keep the edges clean so the GUI can be changed (I was considering QT for a while).
