I think the top question in your FAQ should be "Why should I use this over iTunes?" Then clearly state what you do better (such as file support, interface, etc).

This looks so promising! Kudos to you for working on it for a year and following through! Ill try it and if it really is speedier than iTunes it looks like a good candidate to be my default player. iTunes, I love but it can use a speed boost. Thanks man.

HEY COULD SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE A MUSIC PLAYER THAT DOESN'T TAKE UP MY ENTIRE GODDAMN SCREEN?

what about basically just a search bar and que, you search for a song, and hit enter and it gets added to the que, press skip and the next song plays etc...

Fist impressions can never be reproduced, so I'm typing this as I go along: 1) Welcome dialog is... out of place.

Hmm, it crashed 7% into importing my iTunes library. Can I help debug at all (forward you my .xml file, etc)? Email me at my HN username gmail.com.

Same here. Something with the filename perhaps? Can I email you a crash dump? I tried it twice and it always fails on the same file ("Love Is a Many Splendored Thing (feat. Al Alberts)")

Yeah, please do.
