Packed Media Widget 0.0.1 for N900

I have coded an homescreen widget to control Multimedia player, SomePlayer and InternetRadioPlayer, all at once.

It's made of 8buttons, in a 2x4 grid. The ones on the right are the control ones, and the ones on the left, hidden, are used to change the player to affect or to start it.

Starting from the bottom, the context buttons are: Multimedia, SomePlayer, InternetRadioPlayer and "start".
To use the widget, first a context button must be pressed since  at widget startup there is no context chosen.
"Start" button behaves differently based on the chosen context:

• For Multimedia, it "plays" the song. It's a play, not a resume, so the song will be restarted.
• For Someplayer, it checks if the player is running, and it does it in case it's not.
• For InternetRadioPlayer, it starts the player if not running, or it shows it if hidden.

Widget is highly customizabled, from sizes to colours.

InternetRadioPlayer version 1.0.3

I have released version 1.0.3 of InternetRadioPlayer.
It can be hidden instead of closed to keep playing radios and can save a list of favourites stations.

InternetRadioPlayer for N900

Internet Radio Player is a stand-alone player for streaming radios. It includes an sqlite database to store your stations, which includes more than 80stations as default. Stations can be filtered and/or sorted by name, country and genre. Metadata of streamed stations are shown and a log of played tracks is kept within the cronology and a text log in documents. This program supports a2dp bluetooth profile, so you can manage the playback with your bluetooth headset. When played track changes, system-wide notification can be played, depending on user choice. Player can be set to hide itself instead of closing, to keep hearing the music in background: to make the program to show, just click on the icon in menu; this behavior can be set in settings window. D-bus implementation is set for playback controls.
Program is free and it includes advertisement powered by Inner-Active.
