Re: Playlist format, iTunes 4 good news

Sounds awesome. It would be great if position of elements could be 
controlled with styelsheets, as in Moveable type, although .

wrt album art, it would be great if netjuke could also nab an album 
cover for a track or an album from amazon (heck maybe even a "buy 
album" option) as the great Synergy and Clutter do, rather than require 
you track them down manually as iTunes does.

My only remaining iTunes gripe is that it doesn't handle the shoutcast 
streams generated by mod_mp3 very well. My mp3 collection is not all at 
the same bit rate, and mod_mp3 doesn't resamnple/downsample to 
normalize the outbound bitrate. iTunes stops playing streams when the 
bitrate changes midstream (from one song to the next); Audion is much 
more robust in this regard and will play mod_mp3 streams for hours and 
hours.

At this point, iTunes is competing for my attention as a 
mod_mp3/Netjuke replacement (server side), but only if I want to 
alienate a (very few) of my users who use other platforms.
