When I want to write a review I need to play the track to judge it (ofcourse) and be in the tune´s thread at the same time to write something. In the current situation I can only accomplish this with 2 browser windows. If you could choose to play the track in a seperate popup window (which is piss easy to make) I could finish voting and write a review with the track still playing.

Or maybe add a text box under the voting in which we can add our review about the track...? In this way, everything will be on the reach of your hand, you don't even have to change any page or whatever.

Both suggestions are easy to do. I'll get on it.

the popup window idea is a bit fucked:
- if you press play in the popup it doesn't start loading until the instance on the main page has completely loaded. major annoyance. I think it is a limitation of Apache.
- the popup window is smaller than the smallest allowable value, so a white bar is visible at the bottom
- it is not user friendly, you need to stop the main player manually and then switch back to the popup window and start playing in there. While it is possible to stop the player automatically on opening the popup, this would require a complete recode using javascript. Clearly this will cause more trouble than benefits.
- the name of the producer and track does not appear in the popup until it starts loading. There is no option to change this, except in the skin
The popup link is online atm, so you can check it out. I will probably take it down again later, I forsee a mountain of complaints
Wimpy player is a pile of shit really. I remember the trouble I went through initially, having to code my own proxy so that it would support streaming from a secure mp3 folder. The standard requirement is to have all tracks in a folder inside the webspace (!!).
I'm going to do the 'review on the vote page' option, that will solve it too. Life is too short to waste it on Wimpy

There must be better mp3 players out there... although, on the user site Wimpy is ok. I find it really stupid that when the song position reaches the end the track is reloaded again. Unnecesarry data transport.

For your own good (and your bank account
) you might as well change that then?
