foobar2000 Sidebar Template

Introduction

foobar2000 is an advanced freeware audio player for the Windows platform. The component foo_httpcontrol offers a way to control this player right from your browser.

Sidebar is a template for this component that is optimized for generating webpages that work well in the Opera Panel. See the screenshot to see it an action. It has been tested in Opera 10.10 and in Opera 10.50.

It should work in Firefox as well when installed as a sidebar, but my copy of Firefox 3.6 crashed repeatedly here when testing this.
