I'm by no means a GBA programming expert (I learned it for this project), but I have developed an improved UI for the GSM Player music player for Game Boy Advance.

GSM Player is one of the best-sounding music players on the GBA - there is also Music Player Advance, which looks good and sounds pretty good, but unfortunately that isn't open source.

My new UI features a more sophisticated interface, album artwork, and even an affine animation of a reel-to-reel machine that scrolls in sync with track playback (or fast forward/rewind).

It won't win design awards but it's much more functional than before, so you might consider it if you want to listen to music on your game boy advance. I haven't done thorough testing but I'd say there's room for around 10 songs on a 16MB cartridge. This depends on the length of the audio tracks, of course.

You can provide your own songs and artwork, and run the Go.bat script on Windows to build a ROM. I am fairly confident this can be ported to other platforms, but the shell scripts (and Sox) will need to be updated.

ROM built successfully. Are my songs supposed to sound really glitched though? It sounds really robotic and its hard to tell that it's even my song. I converted my MP3s to WAVs and I've tried multiple songs.
