It keeps saying "Unable to deploy" and giving me an error message, which is very sad, because your quiz looks amazing.

Also, I see that the background on your quiz's RIG has Weezer's Red Album on it, and I love that album. I just had to say that. lol

Will the background of the game show my albums, or is it just like it is in your screenshot all the time?

The problem was that the application files had to be in their own subdirectory, rather than mixed in with the RIG config files. Additionally, there has to be an empty directory for each runtime used by RIG (runtimes\3.0.9.10\ in this case).

I made a fixed version, which you can download off MediaFire here.

Overall i'm pretty impressed. I really like that it uses my own album art in the background. Just a few suggestions.
  • On the questions where is asks you about the longest/shortest it would be nice to see the artist as well. I have a few songs that have the same names even though the songs are completely different and it's hard to know which ones shorter when I don't know which version it is.
  • On the ones that ask most or least played it shows the playcount at the bottom of the screen next to the song title.
  • On the ones that play a sample the sample is slow to start and usually keeps playing through the next question. Personally these are my favorite questions since I at least get to hear some music.
Like I said though, i'm very impressed with the game. It's very nice and one of my favorites.

i really like the random arrangement of albums in the background. it's much like the now playing in the zune software. It's really nice! good work, too, this asks more than just a question about a ten second clip, you actually have to know your music!

any DRM-ed music won't work from within XNA. it's a security thing.

1) Hadn't thought about that, will implement.
2) Heh, beta testing, what can I say!?
3) Can't really improve the load speeds, but I can have it stop after each question. I also will allow users to select the frequency of questions so that you can stop the ones you don't like and make your favorites appear much more often. You will also be able to disable song playing ones so that you can play with drm tracks.
