I know it can play MP3s and others have shown how to extract ID3 tags using DBP, so why not give it a go? Spawned from my recent obsession with GUI design, I'm going to attempt to create iTunes in DBP (ipod syncing not included).

Edit: Feb 2, '09
- Screenshot shows current progress. Currently loaded data in the table and lists is hard-coded, ID3 tags not yet implemented. But it is set up to easily add a new column at anytime, a feature to hide columns is easily supported.
- You can sort the columns in ascending or descending order, resize columns, and even reorder the columns with the same visual effect as seen in iTunes.
- Audio playback is supported with an accurate timer.
- You can reposition the window, resize it, and move the divider which separates the table from the browse lists. (filtering not yet supported)

that looks like a simple enough program. Looks good already.
does the Ipod syncing actually convert the file? Because if it doesnt, you might just be able to do it with some copy / pasting.

PGDO. it consumes my every waking moment, that is not already being eaten by work / school / sleeping

I wouldn't have any way to detect if an iPod is connected. I'm not positive, but my guess is once it's connected it begins broadcasting through the bonjour service and sends data using DAAP protocol, which is how iTunes communicates with other networked iTunes.

Significant updates to the GUI have been made, as shown by the screenshot above.

And just because I'm so happy with how the gui has turned out so far with all the various features, here's a small demo you can try. Audio playback is disabled because the song path is hard-coded right now.

Very cool! I'm really impressed the the GUI. I only get about 35FPS but don't worry about that, I only get about 150FPS in a totally empty DBP scene in the first place.

I think I only get about 45fps and I get over 1200 with a blank screen. Part of this is due to all the variables that are constantly being calculated when they don't need to be, this is only temporary. The other reason, and probably the biggest cause for poor frame rates, is due to setting colors inline with the box commands to create the gradients and alpha effects. I'm going to try my own gradient fill method and see if that is any faster.

I'm guessing you didn't find any bugs or weird quirks?

Just use the D3D plugin, if you aren't already. Just don't use the built-in DBP drawing commands, as you know, they are horrible.

I can't try it right now, I'll try it when I get a chance though

Cheers,
