Hi,

I have been using Mp3 Tag Studio for some time. I like the software very much.. but somehow the interface is not that appealing or attractive. As a Computer Science undergraduate, I have made many small progects in my college. I definitely would say that the interface and presentation of a software carries a lot of weight where customer satisfaction is concerned.

Look at softwares made by Microsoft... They are so well designed and appealing... They definitely follow a standard...

Since this is a hobby project by the author... I have a suggestion to make to Mr. Magnus Brading if he would like to be interested in allowing ME to revamp and redesign the interface... (without any charges obviously..). Its just a helping hand that I would like to forward.

I can be contacted at mainak_s@yahoo.com or ICQ# 18690006.

Thanks for the offer, but sadly I think I have to decline. :( First of all, the interface code is quite complex (much more than it might look anyway) and it would take all too much work to re-integrate a new one even if someone else designed it, and I don't want to give out any source code. Second, even though the buttons and textfields may not have the GUI fashion designers' color and shape of the day, it's still a very slick and usable interface I think (and so has many other users said), so putting that much effort just into following a trend isn't quite worth it I think, even though it can't of course hurt to have a trendy interface, just like you say. Third, I sorta like to keep it my own project, even if any potential help would be free.

But as I said, thanks anyway for the offer, I appreciate your concern.
