Hey Sub I know your busy but I was thinking I would it if you created a web page just for what's currently playing. I would like to place it on my desktop as an active desktop item. could you do that please. But it would have to be just the Now Playing Part

Since I just made a IRC output page to show the now playing in irc your request was easy to do.

Maybe he meant only the current track. That page is pretty big for active desktop.

yeah I want it just to show the Now playing Info. same sizes as now but if there is other stuff on the web page it makes it harder to set up on the desktop. I would have to keep scrolling down

What system are you running (Windows XP, 98, etc)?

If it's windows XP, do this:
right click on the desktop and bring up that little menu. Click on "Properties". Then, click the "Desktop" tab. From there, click "Customize Desktop", then the "Web" tab. Click "new". Then add this link: http://www.subsonicradio.com/station/current_song.php in the field marked "Location". Click "OK" a few times and you're done. Then, just resize the box that comes up. That simple.

have a quick question I hope someone can answer... I have put the link as part of my active desktop and looks really nice. Good work subsonic!!! now why won't the display update? i almost always have to hit refresh to get the current song playing. I have the same problem when ever I have the web page up with currently playing. Never wants to refresh.

eagle4life69,
are you an eagle scout? I have heard the phrase " Don't be a life for life" in the Boy Scouts before. I am an Eagle Scout. Made Eagle in 93.
