[slinkelist] re: ScreenSaver

[keith alexander]

RTFM you say... thanks (I don't know the sheepish
emoticon).  Instead of doing my job this morning I
wrapped up most of my 2nd part of the gui.  Now it
displays a 5x5 grid of the cd covers, and lets you
navigate with the remote arrows and select the one you
want.  If someone who is not such a hacker as I wants
to partner on this, and has a little time I'm really
good at quick hit functional delivery, but bad at
final polish.  I think this might address the
alternate "party interface" lots of us are looking
for.

Plans by this weekend:
Finish GUI Select
Add Sort By Album, Sort by Artist options
Clean up extra ugly Code Elements
