A shiny web interface to make accessing the jukebox nice and easy, available on the box or from the comfort of your own lapbox. Click things on your screen and watch in amazement as they happen on another screen! Shock your neighbours! Horrify your colleagues. Make this face:

Current plan as it stands is a jquery/ajax frontend (shiny) and php middleware which sends stuff back and forth from itunes via applescript. Stuck with itunes just because it is on there and working at the moment, but the frontend will stick on to anything with a decent interface.
Features so far:
- play/pause, stop, back/forward
- mute
- currently playing track name
- silky-smooth volume slider
Planned features/ideas:
- a browser/playlist
- a function that queues up random tracks if the playlist ends up empty, to prevent music suddenly ending just as you are delivering that extremely
offensiverisqué punchline causing one (1) tumbleweed to appear - if id3 tag info is available we could have album art, maybe a website link so people can learn more about the playing artist
- interaction w/main site e.g. "Now playing in The Forest" thing
I think this diagram explains it better than anything: viewtopic.php?p=41840#p41840
