I don't know what this view usually looks like but your version certainly looks sleek. I like the fact you can see what music is playing at the bottom. Is that default behaviour?

in my concept this will be the default behavior. But it isn't so in the music app in windows 8.

The music app is a mess right now :(
didn't u get windows 8?

if u havnt get it now for just 40$ before 1st of Jan... or better yet.. get a retail copy from some store selling it at a discount!

im saying this because windows 8 will get many updates. For free!! it is bound to become a better OS over time.

I only realised you had designed your own app after writing that comment.

I do have Windows 8 actually but I got it mostly for the under-the-hood improvements. I try to avoid the Metro interface as much as possible because it just doesn't fit into my usual mouse+keyboard workflow. I'm also not keen on having to log in to a Microsoft account just to use some basic features.

I do like the Metro look when it's done right but unfortunately it isn't most of the time and feels particularly inconsistent when thrown in with a desktop environment.

Nevertheless, your app looks great. :)

thank you :)
yes the rumors are that MS is going to blend in the two in the future. They are planning to make the desktop as flat as their Metro environment.
