Video demo of the Flat Music Player
I've done some more work on the Flat Music Player, and I'm happy to present to you a brief video demo of an over-designed grunge version, in splendid HD, for your video enjoyment! :-)

[UPDATE] There has been some sites reporting this as an upcoming product from Nokia. This is not so. I have no affiliation with Nokia. It is a concept design exploring spatial cognition, or in popular terms: A player that organizes music in piles, the way our brain prefers it, and not in lists, like a computer prefers it. You can find more about the thinking behind it here.

I really like this music player; its one part something like last.fm/iTunes, but another part like the MP3 players that house our normal collections. I like the evolution of this thought. You've given me considerable things to think abot.

Thank you for this, it's been a pleasure following your music player concept evolve.
I myself am not a big fan of dividing music into genres, so what I'd really like to see is a tag-based version rather than a genre-based one, as tags can be assigned more freely.
Tags could be derived e.g. from last.fm, selected by the user, bringing a whole new level of creative chaos to the software.
I realise this is not what everyone wants, but in my view it's the most fun (and close to how my brain works when selecting music).
Keep up the good work!
