Used Product For: Have Not Tried

The feedback this program returns is rather raw. I don't know if it can, but I only get IP addresses, so it should also read hostnames, and also display with that hostname the other client's Shared Library name (If the user of Monitor is perusing the other users library) Then, for what is playing: The Monitor should be able to pick out the ID3 information instead of the raw path/filename. It can do this by matching the file name to the local library's entry, or reading right off the file like an mp3 player. You could make this an option to display the file or the ID3 info in Preferences, or have two columns that can display both side by side(ID3 should show at least song name, artist name, and album name. Perhaps users can select to display other ID3 information such as track number, disc number, genre, etc). Third issue: With what you said about the monitor only displaying the song while it is streaming (and the song disappearing when the streaming is done and the other user is playing off of cache), this seems simple enough to fix. If the monitor can tell when the song is playing (Green dot) and when the user is not playing any songs, but is connected (yellow dot), then the monitor should simply display that song until either the next song in the playlist plays, or the user disconnects. Until one of those criteria are met, Monitor can assume the song is still playing (paused or not). If all of those we're included, hey, I'd probably even pay for it.
