Looks really good, caught my eye actually. Although I'm not 100% about the sleak kewl header going with the content of the site.... eg. font

Maybe it's my internet but it seemed to take a fair minute to load the page actually?

Ok, I think I have figured the problem with load times...I just noticed your web player atuo starts on page load, I think it'd be best if it didn't do that to be honest.

Maybe have a popup "Would you like our brand new webplayer to start, Yes or No?"

Hi,

Yes, it would be javascript, but the amount of browsers that support javascript now, far outweighs those that dont.

In fact, if you google "Javascript popup generator" there's a website that generates the code you need.

You could always add a noscript tag too.. i.e.

<noscript> You don't seem to have javascript capabilities. Please click here to listen</noscript>

That's not the problem I was having. My browser first sat there for 10 seconds with nothing like there was no site at that address and then 10 seconds later it came up and froze Firefox becuase the player automatically started playing. Then a good 5 seconds later it was completely loaded up.

I just checked it out and it loads instantly now :)

I have also finally noticed the problem, it is the player, once the site is cached it comes up immediately. It turns out that it is the host-etc.info (AKA ESKIMO server). I believe that it is buffering to the Eskimo server before the page loads.
