Hi there,

just a few comments on Steven's thoughts:

I agree especially with regard to the popup windows when dealing with the server side play.
These are REALLY annoying since solely confirmative and nothing else.
(When I find a minute, I'll hack them off the code:)

YES! A more album-centric view would be great - especially for those of us who have a large collection of songs loaded into netjuke.
When I select an artist, I really naturally want a list of the albums of that artist - and not of all the tracks.
After that I would dig down to the album I like to hear or select a track from.
I can fully support Steven's proposal!

Wow. Not bad:))

Greets and thanks for the netjuke. This piece of software is one of my favourites.
