Hi John,

 Forgot to add that the format for the status message I'm considering is:
 [Current Time/Time Remaining] Artist - Title

Sounds good to me, the Playing text is redundant.

Thanks,
Kelvin.

I concur, but please let me suggest that you try to make sure the numbers are
constant-width, and precalculate enough that you can fill empty places with 
spaces; having that line jump around on the screen every second will drive 
people nuts.

Cheers,

Currently I'm using the standard font used, but I am using leading zeros for 
the time display. Should have the changes tested and comited later today.
