I fire it up whenever I need it. But then I'm probably not a  
representative case, as I'm usually surrounded by SB devices which give me  
control over my players :-).

> 1. I just want to access the controls to maybe skip to next track

That's why I did that small popup with only the player control part of the  
right hand side panel. Rarely use it myself.

That's rather the case. I'm an album listener, listening to full albums  
most of the time.

Whatever you're planning to do: I'd suggest to no longer work on a web  
page based skin, but move to the full JS implementation. Today's browsers  
are powerful enough to handle lists of thousands of entries easily, no  
page reloads needed. And JS frameworks are smart enough to handle even  
larger libraries by dynamically requesting whatever data is needed.

The SB Controller app might be unusable on some slower Android devices.  
But still it shows some of the potential of a JS implementation of a web  
UI - and it definitely flies on a desktop machine :-). Plus such an  
implementation would talk the same language as SP, which would make it  
more future proof (if there is any such thing...).

I'm looking forward to helping you wherever I can.
