Greetings!
First of, good job on your application, I like the idea of it and will keep using it.
I will just go on with some feedback and suggestions I guess, lets see.
Feeback/Suggestions:
I loved the idea with PHP, as I like working with it, I had to try this idea out, but I noticed a few things so...
I hope you don't mind, but I made a few changes, because on other user names (like mine), it keeps overlapping:
I changed it a litte, its not perfect, but its working good so far.
Every username should be fine now, as its calculated by its pixel width with a offset:
Anyways, keep going. And thanks for developing this application.
Best wishes,

First of, good job on your application, I like the idea of it and will keep using it.
I will just go on with some feedback and suggestions I guess, lets see.
Feeback/Suggestions:
- Increase size of the texts, they appear really small for me.
- Think of other fun things to include, as querying the picture of the song playing.
(But thats just something fancy I would like, tee-hee. After all it would be something thats only interesting for the PHP part I guess.) - Maybe more placeholders like [Diff] and [DL] for the user to input.
- As for the placeholders, I didn't read it anywhere in the app, but you should put a note somewhere what they do and which exist.
(I know its written here in your post, but as you are already using a MouseOver hint, the bottom right string, you could maybe put something like this there.)

Some of my viewers were asking how I did it, and I directed them here. Maybe you could include instructions on how to set that up in the OP? I could help, if needed.
it just keeps uploading blank np.txt files
