AttoPlay - a big tiny mp3 player

Just trying out a new way to do UI. It's heavily mouse-dependent, but uses both mouse and keyboard to minimize the number of clicks required to perform actions and to minimize desktop usage (occupied less than 3 pixels vertically).

Download the very beta version of AttoPlay here (for windows)

Features:
- play, forward, rewind, skip, stop, pause, resume
- randomize playlist
- sort playlist by name/folder/display name/album/genre/year
- supports album arts thumbnail (if available)
- jump to / filter playlist

Instructions:
- follow the white arrow
- drag and drop mp3 files anywhere on the application
- mouse over, mouse click, wheel rotation: every action has a different effect
- use the keyboard to type in the name of the mp3 to jump to
- playlist also supports: ESC, Page Up, Page Down, Enter

Yet to come:
- saving to different playlists
- unicode filenames
- playlist management
- id3 editing
- persistent volume and playlist index
- genre in text instead of numbers (you'll see)
- other boring time-consuming features...

mp3s shown in screenshots courtesy of roy, thanx!
