Harmonyfx – JavaFx Media Player

Introduction

Before you start read the rest of the article, see the demo below

This article has been in the making a while, and has sort of become a labour of love. When I first started the sole purpose of this article was to gain a deeper understanding of some of JavaFX features APIs, (CustomNode, Storage & Resource, RESTful Web Service using HttpRequest & pullparser, Binding with java object, drag and drop, effects, animation, “3D” etc) I needed an arena in which to perform this self study, so what I decided to do was construct a workable/searchable MP3 player. The MP3 player would work of MP3 ID3 tag metadata which would be obtained using myID3 a java ID3 tag library.

In essence this is what this article is all about.

Overview
Essentially HarmonyFx (the codename ;)) looks like this. It is made up of a number of different consituent CustomNode (Custom Control),

How It Is Intended to Work
I have tried to write this application in a logical manner, and I hope it works as most people would expect it to work. So without further ado, let me delve in to how I intended Harmonyfx to work.

When Harmonyfx is run it will examine the Storage (Library) and tray read all files, that previously saved, Read the metadata (ID3) tag, and arrange it in shelf (cover flow), and download the Album art based on the Album name from last.fm web service. User can add songs in the library by drag and drop folder or files into harmonyfx.

If Harmonyfx is shutdowned, the library updated again with last changed library in application.

Five Biggest Mistakes That Entrepreneurs Make

Jerry Kaplan, said that the five biggest mistakes that entrepreneurs often make are:
1) Having unclear goals and an unclear mission 
2) Trying to prove that they are smart 
3) Greed – doing it for money. 
4) Hiring people that they like rather than people that they need. 
5) Not knowing when to let go.

If Prophet (SAW) Visited You

I wonder……………………

If Prophet Muhammad visited you
Just for a day or two,
If he came unexpectedly,
I wonder what you would do?
Oh I know you would give your nicest room,
To such an honored guest,
And you would serve him your very best.

You would be the very best,
Cause you’re glad to have him there,
That serving him in your home
Would be a joy without compare.

But…when you see him coming,
Would you meet him at the door
With your arms outstretched in welcome,
To your visitor?

Or…would you have to change your clothes
before you let him in?
Or hide some magazines and put
The Qur’an where they had been?

Would you still watch those movies,
Or your T.V. set?
Or would you switch it off,
Before he gets upset.

Would you turn off the radio,
And hope he had not heard?
And wish that you did not utter
your last loud hasty word?

Would you hide your worldly music,
And instead take out Hadith books?
Could you let him walk right in,
Or would you rush about?

And I wonder…if the Prophet (saw) spent, a day or two with you,
Would you go on doing the things you always do?
Would you go right on and say the things You always say?
Would life for you continue
As it does from day to day?

Would your family conversations,
Keep up their usual pace?
And would you find it hard each meal,
To say a table grace?

Would you keep up each and every prayer?
Without putting on a frown?
And would you always jump up early,
For Fajr at dawn?

Would you sing the songs you always sing?
And read the book you read?
And let him know the things on which,
Your mind and spirit feed?

Would you take the Prophet with you,
Everywhere you plan to go?
Or, would you maybe change your plans,
Just for a day or so?

Would you be glad to have him meet,
Your very closest friends?
Or, would you hope they stay away,
Until his visit ends?

Would you be glad to have him stay,
Forever on and on?
Or would you sigh with great relief,
When he at last was gone?

It might be interesting to know,
The things that you would do.
If Prophet Muhammad came,
To spend some time with you
