Well that certainly sounds like you had a good night .

So, if I understand you correctly, you want the icons to show what they will do.. not what it's currently doing??

If the next arrow is lit all the time, then do I just have it flash off when you push it or is no animation necessary for the skip button?

I really kinda like those 2 buttons.. mind making them transparent (remove the green) and making me a matching Thumbs up/down with another for "tired"? They are a little smaller than mine so it might give us some more room if they still turn out to be finger-friendly.

ETA:

I haven't changed the font.. it still should be large time font and a little bigger album info font. There is no way to check inside the app.. but from a command line:
should tell you what you have.
