Hi. I am a participant in the Ubuntu App Showdown contest.
I have made simple music player. Qtiko (http://baszczewski.pl/2012/08/19/qtiko-odtwarzacz-muzyczny/).

I think that we need another music player, because Rhytmbox or Banshe are slow and to complex. Most of users need simple tool with great design and functionality.

Unfortunately 2-3 weeks it's not enought to prepare complete complex app.

At the moment Qtiko have:

fast library with filter (on tracks tab);
3 tabs to group songs: tracks, albums, artists;
functionality to download covers from Last FM
basic code for radios (not complete);
multithread code for database quries and image process - with this GUI could be very fluid - just look to albums or artist tabs;
good integration with Ambiance Theme;


My TO DO is more impresive:

YouTube - support (to see/plays/download users playlists);
Jamendo and Magnatude plugins (it should be simple to prepare);
WEB service to download complete radios groups (I think that radios stations should be grouped) prepared by other users;
playlists functionality;
Party Mode with fancy GUI like media center;
better integration with Ubuntu;
add other tabs to group music: folders
fix a lof of errors;


YOU CAN support Qtiko - just vote :)

Looks nice. I'm currently using Chakra, so I can't install from launchpad. Where can I get the source code?
