Awesome! Brings back memories. A few things I noticed: I am trying a long live set and times over 100 minutes are not shown properly. I shows modulo of 100. Left and right arrows shortcuts should be jump 5 seconds not 5 minutes.

Thanks for the reports. I've filed a ticket for the first one:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

While it worked great for Winamp and a few other apps, the process was a negative for others: MySpace being a big example. People modifying their pages to look like Angelfire/Geocities sites from back in the day killed any interest I had in them.

What's the issue with people making their own space look like Geocities if it's what makes them happy and is how they want to express themselves. Would also like to point out that customisation on MySpace is probably responsible for a whole generation of not only developers but non-tech focused people learning how to code. Met a lot of artists and designers who now work on the internet who MySpace was the starting po…

I have no issue with someone doing it, but it doesn't mean I as a user am going to want to continue visiting it. As bland as Facebook is in look (and it could probably do with a less cluttered redesign), it is at least not a jarring experience so I can live with it. And for a site like MySpace to work, it needs traffic.

Not sure on the generation of web developers MySpace created. Pretty sure every single page that looked like this was plastered with logos for theme building sites/companies littered with various neon-on-black comic sans designs as far as the eye can see.
