The prototype phase of this application is now complete... I am one hundred miles an hour into the development phase.
This first release of the development code has the following features
1. Expression Blend C# controls for
a) MediaPlayer
b) MediaDisplay
c) MediaView
2. Basic arcitecture for how silverlight controls communicate with the base asp.net page and vice versa (via a _pageController class)
3. Deep integration with MP3Tunes.com lockers. This allows true online music player features. A MP3Tunes.com locker is free and allows you to store upto 1GB of music online and has a staple of free music available. The current version of the codebase has a demo account so that you can see what a locker is and what content is available.
4. Use of webservices to communicate with third parties and to deliver a true desktop like user experience, no full page refreshes here!
