A small post, but an important one. We’ve spent alot of time on the foundations of BakBeat. DB models, application states, lots of REALLY dull back end pieces that, while critically important are not exactly flashy.

But now we finally get to the fun. By no means a final UX, but it proves that our work was worth it.

Here we have a iPod Nano 2G. One of many devices from bundles of random devices purchased from Ebay for our testing. We see. We can read it. We can see the artists, the albums, and the songs.

Parsing the iTunesDB is no small feat, and it could not have been done without the work of many many people over the years who did a lot of work understanding it. Each device is its own special beast, so we’ll keep digging. But our foundation is solid.
