Synchronizing with and listening to the Ampache
service. Moreover, Ambient now implements its own embedded Ampache server - this way you can synchronize with and listen to tracks stored on another Android device. More
Short-term goals
Resize of buttons/cover viewer, depending on the screen resolution
Ambient fails to load the "year" tag for some tracks. A bug in Entagged library.
The player should by default start in beginner mode - in this mode some advanced features could be turned off (for example the Dynamic playlist, some of the repeat/random combination, the track formatting options in the configuration dialog etc). Generally, in this mode the player should be usable very easily and intuitively (as a true Google application :-)
The repeat/random options functionality may be bugged, especially with the Dynamic playlist.
Long-term ideas for next development
Graphical analyzers, Visualizations (makes sense when the player is on A/C power).
Video is currently not supported. A simple video playback support is planned.
