    If this means just a checkbox in the live mode window -- 0.5 day.

    Are you sure about the draggable indicator? You never do seek in the
    master panel: that stuff is on the air. Without draggability, just a
    progress bar -- 2 days.

    5 days.

    2 more days after (3) is finished.

    This is not really clear; it would require major rethinking and
    reorganization. Anything between 5 and 20 days.

    (a) Just viewing, without reordering: 3 days, and can be done without (5).
    (b) Reordering: another 3 days.

    > 7) Show history in live mode (dont remove stuff)
    > Cool Scroll up as each song is played

    These are the same: 4 days together.

    > 9) Change the appearance of songs that have been played

    Isn't this the same as (7)? Or do you mean change it everywhere, not
    just the live mode window?

    > 10) Indicator to show what song is being played in the live mode window

    The top non-grayed out item is playing. Do you want some more
    indication? Just changing the color of the top item (but why?) -- 1
    day.

    We could do (C) a treeview-type solution: a turnable arrow
    opens/closes the items: 4 days. Both (A) and (B) are more; very
    roughly: (A) 15 days; (B) 10 days.

    > 12) Show a target when dragging and dropping an item

    There is already a target; but in most themes, it's not very
    prominent. I spent some time trying to find out how to change the
    style of the treeview drop target, asked in the gtk+ irc room, too. I
    can have another go: 1 to 3 days, with no guarantee of success.

    Most of these estimates are very uncertain, and on the low side. If
    I'm making binding estimates that I will be paid by, multiply
    everything by 3.
