OSD question/suggestion

Hi:

I use Amarok very nearly 100% of the time I am on a computer. It is the best
music player application/collection manager that I've ever come across (and
I've tried most of 'em at one point or another). Great job to everyone
involved!

One thing that I was trying to do was to include the next song in the playlist
in the on-screen display, in addition to the song currently playing. At work I
frequently use VMware in fullscreen mode (this arrangement makes using Windows
tolerable). As of VMware 6, I can have the Amarok OSD overlay the fullscreen
Windows VM, and I have the OSD set to always be visible. It would be nice to
have the heads up in case I neglected to remove something non-"workplace
appropriate" from the playlist (usually from the "Rap" genre). Just a
thought....I could see this enhancement as possibly being fairly
straightforward or could be complicated, all depends on the data structures you
have in place. I may take a look at it myself if I get a bit of time to do so.

Great product in all other respects, Amarok is the only app I consistently
build within a day of every new release, because I can't wait to see what else
you all come up with. 'Rok' on!

Cheers,

Walter
