    There was a ipa file released somewhat recently, not in Cydia.

    I can't use this app at all because it crashes on launch. It's version 2.4 and I don't know if it's because of the memory usage, as SBSettings commonly displays something along the lines of 13-30 MB when no processes are listed, and wifi turned off, no bluetooth, etc, but I am running Zune HD Ultimate so that could be the cause.

    Hey guys, it's me, Ben, the developer of Muzik (and NO I am NOT a girl (as far as I know anyway lol)).

    I pulled it down because I am joining with bamhm182's team once again, I've had my solo experience. Rest assured, Muzik is coming back, rejuvenated, refined UI, new features, and new themes! AppMan has seen the new screenshots, and I give him permission to leak them.

    There will most likely be a Paid and Free version available, I'm in the midst of making them both equal, one with ads or without. Depends if you want to be consistently annoyed by them :p

    I'll update you all soon,

    Cheers,

    Ben.

    You should just make an in-app purchase to remove ads. And try putting the ads somewhere they aren't too annoying. :)

    Yep, make it an in-app purchase or put the Paid App on Cydia. Elseway the kiddies are just going to download it from other sites.

    He removed it himself. They don't care if it looks like the Zune. They just don't want an iPod clone.

    I said I'd update you all, so here goes :)

    I just finished adding full Retina Display Integration to Muzik's UI. It now displays extra nicely on the 4, which I'm very happy with. iPhone 4 users will also get a brand new Default Theme, new icons throughout the UI and other altered elements.

    Of course, I'm not going to leave the iPhone 3 and below users out in the cold, I'm redrawing every new image I added for the older devices. My mission statement is to support all the older devices even if Apple don't. The 4.0 hurdle is a bit of a difficult one as 1st Gen iPhones and iPod Touch' are incapable of running the software. I'm sorry to say this version of Muzik has been built with 4.0 as it's base. There are zero (0) reasons to why Muzik 3.0 will not run on the iPhone 3G or iPod Touch 2G as I have given the app a bit of a rewrite to better suit those devices.

    I'm going to give it a day or two, or even a few extra hours of Road Testing. I don't need to do much testing because I have been thoroughly testing each update both on the Simulator and my iPhone 3G. As far as I am concerned, if it runs A-OK on the 3G, then any newer devices shouldn't start whining at you. :D

    Oh, yes, since I'm so nice. Here's a 2560x1440 Promotional Wallpaper for Muzik 3 for you all to enjoy. Sorry it's so ginormous :p

    I will be submitting the app 5:00PM, on Monday, 2 August (Australian Eastern Standard Time -- GMT +10:00). So be ready! Muzik is coming to an iPhone or iPod Touch near you! :D

    Thanks for sticking with me guys, it means a lot.

    Peace out,

    Ben.

    And Screenshots! (Geez I can't stop myself);

    You should send me a copy of the app so I don't have to wait for Apple to review it. :p
