interface (Dowell and Long, 1989). This media player designed for non technical users, who may not be confident with the standard controls seen on many media players. The aim is
to make the use simpler and easier than media players which are already on the market. However, as confidence grows greater functionality is required such as the sending and receipt
of files, and these facilities need to be built in as well, to allow the user the level of functionality they require during the development cycle of the players use.
To meet this design brief the player has to have an easy to use player interface, advanced option and must also have a visual design that is easy to look
at and helps the users. The design of the media player need to meet many of the present expectations associated with the
