Music Player and Podcast Grabber
touchpad and small-screen friendly.

todo.txt in this directory contains a list of ideas on how to make this program better.

Works on Linux, Meego, Windows 7 and Symbian.

This example demonstrates how to do C++/QML integration with
Qt's QAbstractItemModel.

Requirements (All Platforms): 
  Qt 4.7.3
  Qt Mobility 1.2 - libqtmultimediakit
     configure -modules multimedia
     make
     make install
     
On WINDOWS: 
    MP3 Metadata fetching on Windows may also require Taglib 1.6.3.
    After installing taglib, set environment var TAGLIB_DIR
    to point to your taglib installation, and set USE_TAGLIB=true

M3uPlayer build steps:
  Make sure the correct version of qmake / qt is findable in your path
  	(qmake -version)
  Check that Qt mobility has been installed
        (look for mobility.prf in $QTDIR/mkspecs/features)

$  qmake
$  make
$  ./m3uplayer


The views are all done in flickable QML, with animations.
You can use horizontal flicks to switch between playlists, tracks and subscriptions.
You can use vertical flicks to go up and down the lists.

On the Nokia N8, you can use volume buttons on the phone as well as media buttons on the headset.

If you are playing songs from the queue, then you can navigate to other places without interrupting playback, to queue tracks from different sources.

The data are all populated from C++.
Uses QNetworkAccessManager to download podcasts.
Uses QXmlStreamReader to parse XML rss feeds.

It looks for a .tsv file in your podcast directory and uses that as a list
of podcast subscriptions. The name of the podcast must come after the url and
a \t (tab) on the same line. It uses that name for the download folder.

See "subscribed.tsv" in this directory for an example subscriptions file.
