According to iSlsk developer errrick's website, iSlsk is finally going to be on the new iPhone firmware! Just as exciting..he's releasing a new app. with it called "Pwnplayer." It's a full media player replacement..looks pretty great. Apparently he had to make Pwnplayer because iSlsk wasn't working right with the default media player in 2.0. Some features he lists on his site are:

- For Linux, iSlsk users and iTunes haters: File system playback. PwnPlayer reads any folder inside your iPhone/iPod file system and will play mp3s the same way MobileMusicPlayer does, with playlist, artwork and add/remove/tag edit support. Simply drag and drop your mp3 files using your favorite file browsing app such as WinSCP, CureFTP, CyberDuck or iPhoneBrowser... Or download them using iSlsk or any other music download app!

- Music Library compatibility: if you still want to keep using iTunes *vomit*, PwnPlayer is fully compatible with the internal music library

- Search: type in the first letters of the song/artist/album/file you are looking for, tap search and it will appear right there for you.. works both with music library and file system songs.

- Lock-Screen gesture controls: this is one of my favorites. You can control your PwnPlayer by swiping your finger on the lock screen, for easy handling from your pocket.. without having to unlock the device. If you haven’t seen it already in the video above, here’s a screenshot:



- CoverFlow: mimcs almost the same coverflow appearance seen in MobileMusicPlayer. It works only with iTunes library for now, but in the future will also support file system mp3s.

- Background mode: PwnPlayer is for jailbroken devices, so you don't have to worry about it not being able to run in background. Screw Apple SDK ridiculous rules!

- SpringBoard integration: PwnPlayer automatically integrates with SpringBoard. You will see the current playing song info in your lock screen, and you'll be able to use the home double-tap shortcut to control music playback when you are in another app while PwnPlayer is running on background.

- Playlist managing: Create, edit, and remove playlists on the fly easily.

All the above will be available on its first release. Future updates will include:

- Plug-ins: Yes, if the aforementioned wasn't enough, you will still be able to add more and more features to PwnPlayer thru it's plug in system. Or even make your own plugins and distribute them! support for more formats, Lyrics viewer, a Last.FM scrobbler, streaming.. imagine what could be done, and that you will never see on default MobileMusicPlayer.

- Video: Currently PwnPlayer does not support video playback, but it's one of its top priorities for future updates.

- Support for genius playlists?: I still don't know how difficult will be to support this new feature introduced in 2.1 firmware, but yes, it might be available in future updates as well.

- Move music files between file system and music library back and forth?: well, I already said this is not available now because the new iTunesDB security checksums have not been cracked yet.. but if someday they finnally get fully reverse engineered, this will be completely possible.


Watch the demo video here.

this sits right next to IphoneVideoRecorder when islsk comes out lol, and dont get it twisted tho, i love dtunes, but when islsk come out, dtunes would just be used for porn downloads....sorry to say but its true...

[heath_rox]

best innovation since inteliscreen

[z3r01]

I've never used intelliscreen

I agree dtunes will go away . islsk was sick on 1.1.4 with filebrowser. I sent music to my friends from my phone slick ****. Looking at the new islsk with pwnplayer ...stellar!

I read all of this information about a week ago on the devs site so its not really news to me. When it gets released then there will be something to talk about. Enough with this taunting and teasing.

Wow that looks really, really good. Loved how the first song was from Justice. Planisphere is a great track.

Hey everyone!

I just got an email, with a nice attachment, for the new PwnPlayer ( BETA ) made by Erick. If u donate he will send you one too, before the main one is released.

I will let u know if I like it ( whats not to like ) !!!

Have fun and stay safe!

Later,
RaMod

PS: His words on the new release:

PwnPlayer is now being tested by I few people; if you have donated in the past and want a copy of it all you need to do is send an email to me.

While I delegate the testing work to this people, I’ll focus on getting the final touches on iSoulseek so they are both integrated and released together.
