May have to look into this) While the podcast is playing a ticker/marquee? tells you what song is playing (Getting the information from the MYSQL database). ------- Tim Coysh On 1 February 2010 17:28, Tim Coysh <[email protected]> wrote: > A diagram would be helpfull, but I get where your coming from.
