Well, the CD-Jukebox activity has come a long way. Thank you all, again!
I'm using a list of CDs presented grouped in categories that are managed by tabs - Jazz, Classical, Pop...etc. The lists are comprised of buttons using set/getImage to change the modern black buttons with white text to modern blue with black text to show which is highlighted. The cursor up/down runs the highlighted item up/down the current page of CDs. The page up/down advances the page to more CDs (actually just showing a subset of the array.) The scroll wheel does the same but when it reaches the end of the list/page it scrolls over to the next/previous page within the category. The label of the button is loaded with the CD titile/artist.
A mini-CD image is adjacent to all the buttons and the label of this image is changed to the CD number when it's highlighted, blanked out when not. Great idea from alpha.
Press of the "OK" or the panel button itself loads/plays the CD with a jump to "Now Playing" page.
I've already started cleaning up the code and making it more compact and more readable. Are commented lines loaded to the panel so the interpreter needs to stumble through all those? System.print() lines for debugging, I presume, slow things as well?
alpha mentioned artwork. Great idea too. I think I can manage the PS for all this but, where to get the artwork? I found some websites but they are tortuouse, one at a time with manual search. There's a better way I'm sure. Any recommendations?
