1.03 is here!

I've got a rather large update for everyone that's interested. OK, so maybe you might not notice how large it is, but I know because I wrote all the code. The first thing that you should notice right away is that their is a new tab on the main frame titled "Image Library". This tab displays an image associated with each artist or album depending on which tab you select. You'll notice that the images pop-up when you mouse over them and if you right click on an image you can add that artist to your playlist or Google image search the artist. I haven't set a way to save the images yet, but I'll probably get to that eventually.

The next new addition is the mini player. Hooray! Now Music Box wont take up your whole screen when playing music! Mini Player is located under Options -> Mini Player (or Ctrl+M).

You might have noticed that the GUI throws errors every once in a while. I don't know much about making Look and Feels in Java, but if someone would point me in the direction of some interesting looking Look and Feels, I may take them into consideration for when I eventually make the change.

So now I'd like to hear from everyone that has downloaded Music Box, or is just reading this news post. Please leave a review, or post something in the forum. I prefer positive reviews, but I am willing to take negative as well I suppose. I'd also like to know what you the user want to see happen with this audio player. I'm beginning to run out of new ideas and I'm really interested what everyone else thinks. Just remember that I'm the only person working on this project at the moment, so things may take a while.

On that note, if anyone wants to help develop Music Box, just let me know. Until next time, keep on jammin!
