Why not just make it some sort of smart randomized script?

Send me the file and I'll debug it if at all possible.

Again, WinSCP looks, feels, and acts pretty much EXACTLY the same as most FTP clients. It should be a rather seamless transition for people.

Lion: "I got the calf! I got the calf!"
Croc: "STOLEN!"
Lions: "OMG, hellz no."
Croc: "Kekekekekekekeke" *flees*

Man, I wanted to see a lion actually be flung to the croc. That woulda made my day.

Re-iterated Fes... FTP isn't secure, SCP preferred. 

WinSCP functions pretty much exactly the same as an FTP client.

I actually prefer WinSCP and Putty to that older windows SSH client now days. Putty/WinSCP have better support for things than the other does. I started writing a tutorial for it, but never actually finished it. If I do write one, I'd prefer to write it using a section on creating a key and uploading that.

All right, check it!

But on the same note, if the content is difficult to find people lose interest in it. It's a double edged sword man.

[about:config]

make sure that your settings aren't screwed up for sessions and caching

go into the top bar where you'd enter a url and type in about:config

then look for things like session and cache.

listing out the mp3's links wouldn't slow down your page's load times 

Odd I don't have any issues, are you using IE or FF?

I see no reason why not.

You can probably use another theme, if Xeph has them installed. Or turn down the brightness/contrast on your monitor.

I disagree. Shiny is very very nice, so long as it works.

Drop down (DHTML) menus are extremely common now days, and from a professional standpoint, very useful. As for "compatibility" for those morons still running shit like Netscape 5, IE 4, text browsers, etc... well they can just get bent. It's 2007, time to upgrade. Heck MS won't even push new updates to your windows system in anything under IE 6 anymore, so that should hardly be an issue.

So, shiny is totally, completely, 100% safe to use. Just make sure to test it with older browsers if you can, and if at all possible, avoid writing your own JS for it, use an existing lib with a nice small footprint. I'd suggest jQuery and some of it's addon's for something like this.

Web design is all about the look now days. Especially when you have a product you want people to know about.

There's my $0.02.
