overall you have the main bugs down. I would look into letting it “feed” off of windows media player or itunes or something. I would also look into having some kind of counter telling you how much time is left.

Thanks for the suggestions kevin! What exactly do you mean by letting it feed off of windows media player? Power Hour is currently using Windows Media Player as the engine behind the music.

I will see what I can do about the time remaining counter. Thanks!

alex,
Thanks, I’ll have to look into this. I made it with a friend pretty quickly and haven’t looked at the source in a year almost. I’ll have to find it again on my computer (and upload it) and they see what I can do to tweak it a little

Thanks for liking the player though!
