Well, the problem with Swing is that it adds to the download quite a bit. >From what I remember the whole Swing lib is close to 2 MB - I'm not sure that's the best way to go. Looking at Napster, it should be possible to come up with an AWT version that's reasonably similar - Swing would be slicker, but at the end of the day, if it's between a slicker interface and a smaller download, I would go with a smaller download :) Anyway, I'm finishing a project today/tomorrow, so the earliest I could start working on the front-end design/implementation would be Saturday.
