Visually I might move the vertical "music" buttons down one row in the table just to give some visual separation between them and the horizontal main menu buttons. But other than that it works fine, is fast and seems intuitive enough.

Re: New homepage what do you think?
Yes, works well Stephan!You could maybe make the text bolder and a different colour,as the black gets a bit lost in the grey background.Maybe just bold white would stand out.Tried to play the tracks, but Mozilla said I needed to updatemy Quicktime plugins. Then when I tried to download them,Mozilla said it was on their "blocklist" and shouldn't be installedwith Mozilla Firefox. Played fine in Explorer though!Good to see ya's sounding good!Nice work!Dave.
I put the kettle on, it didn't suit me.

Re: New homepage what do you think?
Hey Stephan;Thanks for posting your site. It's a fun design. Just a couple suggestions:1. More contrast between text and the background (as Dave suggested) would be helpful.2. The player might work better opening in a same page, rather than as a floating window. It took a while to load the song, so I'm wondering what size MP3 files you're using. 128 kbps might load faster.3. A bit more separation between the 6 music style buttons and the top 5 buttons would makes things more organized visually. At first glance, it was difficult to tell that the 6 music style buttons were related to each other. I wonder if you could add a "listen" title or something to make these all relate to each other more.Otherwise, you got a groovy site going on. Suz

Re: New homepage what do you think?
Thanks for your suggestions. Maybe I will put picture like a banner behind the menu buttons to separate them. Yea, I will try with bold white color for the text. it works good on the text under the songs.

Dave: Quicktime doesn´t work so good for me either in Mozilla. Suz: Thanks for your suggestions. I know it takes some time for the mp3s. I will try with 128kbps and see if there will be any difference.

Usually Quicktime MP3s open in the same page in the site; it appears you have them programmed to open up in a new tab or window. Might be worth changing it to opening up in the same page and seeing if that works better. ,Suz

Re: New homepage what do you think?
Well, I like it when the mp3 pop up in a new window. You can stay on the site, go to the lyric page, surf around and still hear the music.
