Very cool of you, I was debating the $149 price tag, but at $30 I just paid before I could think of a reason not to. Quick question: is there a way to use an audio player (e.g., Audacious, RhythmBox, VLC) to stream the music without using a web browser? The animated light curves in the background make the browser use 100% of a whole CPU core, which isn't ideal, especially when using a laptop on battery.
