Classic Quick Screen version :
A second version of musicOS Alpha 1 is now available for users who prefer the original Quick Screen design.
Download musicOS_Alpha_1_Classic_Quick_Screen.zip below.
Note: The Home Screen album artwork is currently cropped from the top-left when using this version. I’m working on a way to properly center the artwork while keeping the larger album art used by the Classic Quick Screen.
Everything else is based on the same musicOS Alpha 1 release.
