Sigma Player for Harmattan version 0.0.1 approved on Nokia (Ovi) Store

Are you missing a music player featuring 10bands equalizer? With Sigma Player you miss it no more! From today it's available here on Nokia Store. For feature and bug request, pls check this post or send me an email.

Actually, there is a QtMobility bug which won't let you play files which file name includes characters like accents and so on, so pls if you have trouble with that it's not something I can deal. If you care about this issue, you can find its bug report here.

Happy playing!
