I have a week off work, and you know what that means...

UPDATES!

I'm probably going to make the add song box a bit thinner seeing as how
the last bit isn't used.

Also, I went and downloaded the top 50 artists for the last 6 months for
each of the following Last.fm accounts:

JTMILLER, acegikmo313, bsoric, websafepallet, Raylawley, maceobennett,
stretchilism, tasman_28, spligitmoose

and got a thumbnail picture for just about all of them, so most of the
songs you guys upload should hopefully have pictures. I don't know if
there are any more Wilangans on last.fm, but if there are I can get
their favourite bands and add them as well.

As Windows' version of Impact (the font) doesn't render too well in
Internet Explorer, I let the user choose from that or Arial. Then I got
carried away and added Comic Sans MS, Onyx and that one in the second
picture whose name escapes me. Odds are good I'll find some more Windows
fonts that I like and add them too.

A few of the colour schemes need work (those being red, orange and
yellow) but I suck at picking colours so if anyone else wants to come up
with some good ones, there's 4 colours to each theme (those being the
background colour, the box-background colour, the box-border colour
(which is also the colour of bits of text) and the text colour.

Simon brought up the possibility of having something to stop too many
similar songs being uploaded (so we don't end up with Blake's Beatles
collection being played back-to-back at 5 in the morning again) and
we've been trying to come up with a simple algorithm that'll let us do
that. It's made more complicated by the fact that relatively few people
obsessively tag their music collections with genres and years etc. At
the moment I'm thinking "subtract a couple of votes for every time the
song's been played, subtract a vote for every song by the same artist in
the playlist" but that's been changing around a lot.

And that's all I can think of for the moment. Consider yourself updated.
