Your idea is useful, doable, and you know you will never get a roundtuit. So give a roundtuit, and someone else might.

I would really like to have a large display screen, maybe just an LCD scrolling banner, that I could mount on my wall which shows the title, artist, and album of the music that I am listening to. I was thinking that it could hook up to an ipod dock or directly to a computer. Since I have more music than I can keep track of, it would be nice to know what is playing at a glance from across the room.

A related (and maybe cheaper to make) idea would be to have the same information scrolling very large across a computer screen as a screensaver linked with the music program. I haven’t seen one of these yet, and it does not seem like it would be that hard to make.

Someone please do this!

(any chance of a “been done” on the screensaver angle? I couldn’t find one)

In case you’ve been living under a stone, Greasemonkey is a great script interpreting Firefox plugin that enables dynamic redesign of web page content, often integrating content from several sites.

There are tons of user scripts for specific sites, and some for general sites.

But what I’d really like is a script about scripts. When I go to a site that is in the list of site specific user scripts, it’d be great if a little icon would tell me there are scripts I might like, that I can expand, to see the descriptions, and provides an “install” button for each.
