Music playback is a cinch for DS-Xtreme

Another new feature has been announced for what is being billed as the definitive DS homebrew flashcart, and this one is sure to make music junkies happy. Yes folks, the DS-Xtreme will have music playback capabilities straight out of the box.

While there are a lot of excellent homebrew apps out there that let you play music on your DS, this makes it easier for DS owners who are not quite so familiar with the whole DS homebrew scene. The DS-X dev team spent quite some time thinking about whether or not to include the music playback feature, and it will no doubt be one of the reasons that  people will pick up a DS-Xtreme.

According to Leto, a member  of the DS-Xtreme dev team, the flashcart’s built-in music player will “scan the filesytem for music files, and automatically organize them into a music library for you, by artist, album, genre etc. From that music library you can either pick an artist, genre, song, album etc. and play it immediately, or you can queue it up into an on-the-fly playlist.”

DS-Xtreme will also have full shuffle capabilities and repeat functionality, as well as a skinning engine that will allow users to create some fantastic media player skins. There is also one other feature that has not been made public yet, and the DS-Xtreme dev team says that a video of it will soon be made available. All this news is really making us even more hyped for DS-Xtreme’s October 12 release date.
