For you guys who have PM'ed me lately about a hang during installation on high load server, I've remodified the installer and divide the process into small steps that it should help you pass the 'Sending request' wait time faster. Thanks to leedq , h2 and others who bring up this feedback.

I seem to have a problem getting a/the Player to show up anywhere when a song is clicked on to listen to. The song plays fine there is just no Player to control the song. Any idea what is wrong?

This looks more like a client side media plugin issue. What browser are you using? Have you tried different browser? PM me your URL so I can take a look too
