Is this intended for I.E. only? I notice there is no shuffle status in
Firefox, but other than that it looks pretty good.

For this project, I used IE because it is built into Windows XP Home
which is driving the remote LCD monitor in the family room. I didn't
want to clog it up with a bunch of software nor have people interact
with it. The PC, being really small (about the size of desktop hard
drive) is hidden behind the couch and has a wireless keyboard/mouse
which I keep in a cabinet.

Should work on any browser since it is just HTML.  I just tested it on
Firefox and the shuffle status appears normally.  However, I noticed
that the track info has moved to below the album art instead of to the
right of it.  Interesting.  Can you post a screenshot?


One other thing I did was comment out your comment tag. In HTML you
generally use <!-- comment_text -->.

Thanks for the tip. I found the <comment></comment> reference somewhere
and assumed all browsers interpreted it. I changed it to use the <!--
comment_text --> tag.


Also, what size is all your album art, or what size do you find is
needed to look acceptable?

Approx 50% of my album art is around 300x300. The other half of the art
is 500x500. I think 500x500 looks better while not being too big. The
HTML code does enlarge the image a bit, which slightly distorts the
300x300 image while the 500x500 looks really great. Still, 300x300
seems acceptable for this pupose. However, I would like to convert my
300x300 art someday.
