[Ebuka Allison]

What do you guys think of these concepts?



or is the official 8.1 UI the best?

My Concept

I like The first design better, since it fits Windows Phone's look and feel

Redesign 1 looks awesome.

I'm sorry, I have to agree on the hidden slide menus - un-metro and pretty annoying as you always have to pull a menu, it doesn't feel solid. I really like how the old hub/ the concept of the new xbox music app. Danny, yours is pretty close to that, a little more rich, and that's ok. I like your concept, especially the first image with the recent as album covers. I'd remove the capitals with "artists" etc. Furthermore, I like the idea of having an artist page with all the album covers of the artist as well. Nicely put!

Offtopic, is it me or does the dude from Owl City look like Messi?

How about Zune?



In addition to that, might as well.

For the first post, most of those look very iOS and Android. The fourth post could use a little bit of tweaking with the artist background, could be darker as it's hard to read texts, otherwise it's a nice panoramic concept. For the eighth post, despite that zune is a dead name, it'd be really nice to have this as an alternative media player, really nice how the collection and recent reflects the zune hd interface.

OP - Do you work for Xbox Music?

I'm gonna have to say redesign 1 looks sleek. I also like that it more closely resembles the Windows 8.1 music player on the desktop. Widescreen support and the ability to edit album art and artist images would be great within the app.

Haha I wish. I'd be smacking heads all day. Just concepts I found on the net. The very first posts are from the Windows Phone websites (UK and US)

Is that a PhotoShop or...

 

[tapehead]

Yeah, any more footage of your Zune app?

 

[omgitsnick]

At first I thought the zune concept was a photoshop, but now that he's mentioned that it's an app, looking back at the photos suddenly it looked legit judging by the timing of the songs and how the recent pane actually keeps track of previously played songs. I would also like a copy.

 

[Adriaan NL]

Oh hey! The maker put in the big image "NOT available" in the Windows Store lol...

 

[tapehead]

Please, please, please say this available for download.
