[QUOTE=xmariusx;40580968]This idea come to my head, so I created it. What do you guys think?

Well that's fucking strange because I was thinking about trying a dropdown that works like this yesterday haha. My only gripe with it is that it creates a moving target, which isn't great UX. It feels nice though. Do some ad-hoc user testing with it at a coffee shop before you use it for anything too big though :)
I'm working on a web application that acts as a web interface to your iTunes library - meaning that you can play any of your songs from a web browser. I've built a custom installer with C# that sets up apache and configures the application on your computer. You can access your tunes on the computer your iTunes is installed, another computer on you LAN or over the internet (with port forwarding configured). I will be releasing the application to the public as a free download once it's completed but for now the project is in a closed beta.
The application uses a responsive layout to support various screen sizes including mobile.

[B]Features[/B]
Parsing of the iTunes library
Playback of media
Creation of playlists
Deleting playlists
Automatic fetching of album artwork
Security features prevent unauthorized access to your media
A responsive layout that scales to the size of the device you are using.
Text search to find items in your library
User-customizable background image
[B]Browser support[/B]
Chrome - All recent versions fully supported
Internet Explorer - IE9 & 10 fully supported
Firefox - All recent versions fully supported however a flash fallback solution is used for media playback as Firefox html5 audio playback doesn't support .mp3 (yet - most recent nightlies have support)
Mobile Safari [iOS 5+] - Fully supported
I'm going to be setting up a site to offer downloads of this as soon as I finish building it :rock:
How does it work?

This is interesting, but you really need to redesign it. I don't think I'd want to use something if it looked like that
[QUOTE=PiX06;40587010]Was that directed at me Jelly?[/QUOTE]
Yeah. I've messed around with it before and the only two ways I found were plist parsing of the iTunes XML file and the horrid COM API.

I'm using a library that uses xpath to avoid exceptional memory overhead of an array based plist parser.

[QUOTE=Map in a box;40587565]You should have the webserver in the app[/QUOTE]
The "app" is the web application served by apache. The installer program just sets up apache and configures a user account that can log into the web application.

A recent event (read: post your site) has made me want to redesign a certain website of mine.
[url=http://i.imm.io/15FuO.png]WIP but nearing completion.[/url] Stuff in brackets are placeholders for either information that doesn't need to be shared here, or information that has yet to be 100% figured out.
Edit:
The very bottom bit is inspired by said recent events.
Today I decided I wanted to learn PHP, so I started working on this for my community;
[url]http://www.lifepunch.net/gamecp[/url]
Confession: I improvised the design on the go. :( I know it's poopy.
Please rip me a new one with as much criticism as you can so I can fix it.
Same goes for whatever bits of code you can see.
You must be proud over your community!
For some reason, certain extensions/plugins are causing my #userinfo div to jump out of place. I can't figure out why.
See: [url]http://i.imgur.com/yMMu4qZ.png[/url] & [url]http://i.imgur.com/dFvrzpP.jpg[/url]
Anyone has any idea?

You should! Your site looks amazing and it's a really welcoming warm feeling when you visit it. It's one of those sites that gives you "I'm so damn proud to be a part of this".
What have I done wrong!

It looks alright, could use some improvements though. The first thing I really noticed was the intensity of the drop/inner shadows on the header and text heading. I feel like most people dont realize that you can get a lot better looks with shadows when you make them a lot more subtle. Perhaps try lowering the opacity on it? You should probably also add a little line height to the content text as right now it looks a little scrunched together (maybe add a little padding too)
Planning to get into web development using Python and Django. What are your opinions on Google App Engine?

I feel the same way about all of that. I improved line spacing a bit after posting that picture, and made some of the shadows more transparent.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll fix up the rest tonightish.
