[request] A centerstage-like app for Windows?

Main%20Page.jpg

Once again I envy Mac users: Centerstage is a complete media center that will enable to browse and play all of your media. It'll search your mp3tags, picture captions, show movie reviews, cast,crew, album art, duration, whatever you want.

And yes, it's skinnable. Well, it's still in early beta stages, but the Functionality demo and the GUI galleries (One, Two) look MIGHTY impressive.

I wondered if:

  1. Anyone knows if such a program exists for Windows
  2. If there is no such program, if anyone was interested in such a program

This isnt actually an offer to code, I have no idea how I would do that, but seeing that aquasoft has such a great (but overworked) community of coders, this might spark some ideas for future releases. So, does anyone know of a comparable program and if not, would this kind of program be useful to you?

It looks like they took the Windows Media Center idea, and made it for Mac. :/

Yes, CenterStage is like Windows Media Center for the Mac, but obviously a lot better.

obviously?

Sounds great to me! Windows Media Centre always seemed a bit pointless to me but this I'm interested in. Seems a bit better thought out imo from the looks of it.

Ah, and while writing my original post I wondered if I had to add "no M$ software please" :)

enhanced labs (www.enhancedlabs.com) was making one. Their site is currently being redone, but once its up they'll probably have a link there.

have a look at this. i installed it a while ago. and, while i don't really use it, it seems to work well. and it's skinnable.
