Alps GL-17 cassette deck

It is easy to use as vintage music cassette deck. It can control third party players and show playing sound level. Interface simulates main controls and indications including alive VU-meters. Entire look and feel are based on one of the famous cassette deck from near past. The name is fictitious. Features available: - turn on playback, pause (while playing), next/previous track (while playing) and stop; - change global sound volume by moving volume knob; - watch music level on arrow and linear VU-meters - switch VU-meters input between microphone and global output (see below) - see name of playing song, album and artist in nice running line (see below) - watch rotating cassette drivers while playing; - timer counts from playback start; - buttons and switches emit natural sounds; - zoom view by pitch gesture; - scroll around zoomed view by hold and drag; - fit view to screen size by tap and hold; - shrink to "original" view with size 800x480 by double tap; - close program by "power" button. How to use after installation. Variation 1: - run this program; - run your favorite player and select music you want to listen; - switch player to pause; - switch screen to this program; - tap to play button and then use program controls. Variation 2: - run you favorite player, select music you want to listen; - turn playback on; - run this program - it will automatically stops playing music; - tap to play button and then use program controls. Switching to microphone input allows VU-meters listen and indicate ambient sounds. Turn this on if you play music by other hardware - VU-meters will follow it's level. Switching to output connects VU-meters to internal device sound output. It allows VU-meters follow only to music played by this device. This can not work properly on some Snapdragon processors with some third party players cause they use specific hardware features. Author of this program is not responsible if VU-meters don't show music level on output but on microphone do show. Some software music players do not give author, album and song name. In this case static sentence "no music info" will be shown. Same will be shown if no any music playing but program just animates sound from microphone. Program DOES NOT contain any malicious code - no advertising, no data acquisition, no trading, no third side communications, nothing except it really does - just front-panel for music player. Program works only in landscape mode. It blocks automatic screen blackening but allows turn off screen by device power button. Just turn on music and run this program while charging your phone or tablet - and enjoy nice view instead of black screen.
