I have been using MM for 7 or 8 months. Love the program.
I've looked at all the available skins (up until a few weeks ago). So far, what I'm looking for is not out there. I do not have the skills to make my own skin (nor do I wish to spend the time to learn how at this point in my life). However, here is what I am looking for:
Basically, the original skin with the bottom portion (the controls, info on artist, song, album, etc.) taking up at least 1/3 of the screen, preferably at the top - with a MUCH larger font for all, especially the artist/song/album. This would allow me to take control of the system from across a fairly large room with a remote mouse (actually, a presenter that works as a mouse) to see who the artist/album is, change the volume, got to the next tune (or replay the last), etc. etc.. I previously used a program called "Jukebox For Winamp" (basically a Winamp add-on) for years and really liked it because of the large font (used to use it with a 27" TV).
I like MM a lot better (easier to use, easier to update the database, better search function, etc. etc.) but would love to be able to use some remote jukebox functionality. I currently run MM off of an old networked Dell P4 on my covered patio with a 32" LCD monitor and some nice Logitech speakers, sucking and blowing on 3TB+ mp3 files on a dual core AMD back in my home office.
Any help or suggestions from some of you smart and energetic people out there would be greatly appreciated by this old retired Navy Chief.
