Download MP3 Player with Lyrics

STOP!! Don't bother downloading anything here.

Just uninstalled Qt 4.8 to try Qt 5.2; long story short, Phonon library is required for music playback and I don't have the library anymore.

 The original intention was to see whether some known Phonon issues have been resolved in Qt 5.2 - only to realize that Qt doesn't use Phonon - natively - anymore.

Tested Environments

 Works

  •  Windows 7 Starter on a netbook with Intel Atom N550.

Doesn't Work

  • Windows XP --> application runs, but can't load any song.

Download 

Dependency Libraries 

Only need to download once, unless I decide to use other library(ies).

Application


Ramblings


This application is created using Qt 4.8. It is currently dynamically linked, thus several libraries are required for it to run.
Statically linked application would be smaller, but that means:
  • I have to statically compile my Qt.
  • The license for application would change - I haven't read through what's the implication.
In any case, if I decide to statically compile Qt, it would be the latest version of Qt rather than 4.8.

Version 0.01b has been uploaded within a zip file.
I provide the application as an executable rather than bundling it in a zip file.
Reason: I'm curious if any anti-virus would flag it as a virus or such.
--edit 1--
Well, well,  bitly already considers it problematic. I've replaced the link for the application with the real-longer link.
