By the way, after using the web version of the music player, I found the buttons a tad small when on my Android phone. So, I ditched the Windows Media Player derived buttons and designed my own from scratch. I'm NOT a "graphics guy" by any means, but I think they came out all right nonetheless. The only functionality missing from the previous interface is volume control. I found it was much easier (and less confusing) to simply use the device's volume control.
Here's the new screenshot:
On the video transcoding; I found out that VLC crashes when you convert a video to MP4 (my preferred format) on a Win7 x64 OS. Figures. So, I'm waiting until the next version comes out before I try it again. Until then, I'm kind of at a standstill.
In the meantime, I started creating an app that allows my wife to enter, view, and manage her recipies. Kinda tired of having recipe cards floating around the house. I figure this will allow her to store them electronically, and give her the ability to do things that could never be done on paper. And when she's in the kitchen, she can use her Kindle Fire to view them via wi-fi.
