6.1 Project Review, Discussions and Conclusion

Will people choose to use tedious software or interesting software? I believe that people nowadays are more pursuing special things, and they all want to customize some things according to their own preferences to meet their own needs. The tedious software is fine for the first use, but over time the user will lose the freshness and gradually move to better and more functional software.

Most people usually don't keep their phone’s screen awake all the time, as this drains the battery faster. Also, it is difficult for users to focus on the application to make control when they are too busy with something. For example, when users are driving or riding, it is difficult for them to aim for buttons to control. If they turn their attention to their phone, then they could cause an accident. As we know, a lot of accidents now happen because of drivers playing on their phones when they are driving.

Today’s people choose to use the MP3 software of mobile phones to connect Bluetooth to various devices more often than to choose radio stations. They choose to complete various procedures in one software, such as downloading music and playing music in the same software. If separated into different software will make the whole process cumbersome. Also, if a software only has some kinds of songs, it will also bring inconvenience to the user.

Whether it is an older song or the latest trending song, it must be easy for users to download.

In conclusion, the proposed application will combine the strengths of majority of music

players currently available in the market and eliminate some unrealistic features, allowing

users to have a user experience when using the MP3 music player application. The proposed

MP3 music player will focus on improving the experience of users of the music player

experience.

6.1.1 Project Achievement

First, the proposed music player had achieved its first objective which is add-on special features. The special features in this proposed music player are song trimming and equalizer.

Two of these features are rarely can be seen in most of the music player in the market. By implemented this feature, it allows user to have more interactivity with the application and also make the music player more unique and interesting. Song trimming allow user to trim a specific song to the length or to the part they wanted, and equalizer allow user to change the output of the selected song. These two features are more on user customize based on their needs.

Second, the proposed music player had achieved its second objective which is add in gesture control. By using gesture control, user doesn't have to pay full attention to the phone when they wanted to control the music flow in an inconvenience situation such as driving. This function eliminated the risk of accident for user when they are using the music player application which is a win-win situation. User just simply swipes right or left or double tap within the phone’s screen then it will successfully trigger the function and the effect is same as using button to control.

Third, the proposed music player had achieved its third objective which is expand song collection library. Now the user can download their favorite song no matter in what genre.

This is because the third-party download site provides a large size of the song library and all genre of song include classic, pop, jazz and others.

Lastly, the proposed music player had achieved its fourth objective which is provide

download function. The download function allow user to download the song they wanted by

just clicking the “Download” button. Although, the download function are no in-apps

download but it is also making user easy to get a music in one app. They do not need to find

another place to download the music they wanted, which is a time-wasting process.

6.1.2 Problem Encountered

The main problem encounter in this project is unable to implement the in-apps download function. We are just using a third part download site from web. Although all the songs are available at the site but there are all illegal as in copyright. To solve this problem, we need to have a stronger assets and knowledge. So, for this project we are temporary using the third- party site.

6.2 Future Work

I. Implementing in-app song downloads as opposed to the present practice of using a third-party website which is some sort of illegal.

II. Refactoring code involves rebuilding the coding structure to make it clearer, simpler to understand, and more effective.

III. Build more special function to make the application more interesting and enhance the interactivity.

IV. Cross-platform, making the app available on iOS and Android.
