It would be really fun to do, but i'd like to see how many would buy it.

(PS. in autumn me and a friend will probably add to ovi an app useful for wardriving (GUI) )
I don't think too many people would buy a music player app . . . even for 99 cents because ever phone already comes with an app for that.

But I think a better idea would to be to hook the App up too amazon that way you can earn PC off every purchase they make and it could (IN THE LONG RUN) Add up too alot more.

MAKE THE MUSIC PLAYER FILL IN EMPTY ALBUM ART!!!!

You can use the Yahoo image search api for that

And show them related artists . . . Also using Yahoo's Related Searches api and BANG you got a kick *** free music player than generates income !!!!

This is the same model that Firefox took and they are quite successful.

You can't sell a Web Browser. Your PC comes with IE for free but if your free browser kicks but than you make money on the advertising fees.

For each artist give uses the option to search with a Google Custom search or to shop for mp3's on amazon!

Bang now you got two streams on income that will only stop when people stop using your app!


They better it is the more people will use it and tell their friends about it.

Build in some TELL-A-FRIEND social networking nagging once in a while and it could end up making you allot more money than you every could have made by tring to sell it for .99 cents to users who have never ever tried it or heard of it.
