[Pianod] mobile application already working, request comments on track status changes

[Perette Barella]

The behavior Peter described suggests it's stuff in the main thread, which would mean it's delaying while getting a new playlist or something like that.  I've seen it do that rarely; it eventually continues when the request times out.  It's rare enough for me I've chalked it up as network or Pandora server dropouts.

I have also seen playback hang in the middle of a song, while the UI stays responsive, but that's also traceable to network... and it also times out and recovers in a bit.



As far iOS compiling... I downloaded Titanium, now I need to learn how to use it in my copious spare time :) .  Sounds like you guys are rocking on it though.



Rethinking of reworking a couple of track status codes because there's some conflation.  Particularly:
	103 Playback is stopped.

This is ambiguous in that there may or may not be a station selected.  Thinking of breaking out/adding 106 (Stopped, no station) to distinguish from 103 (Paused intertrack, station selected).  Thoughts?



Also, formatting for 101/102 playback status messages is way too busy and confusing:
	101 now/length/remain Playing {mix|station} selected-station-name

Unfortunately, this conflates selected-station with current-track.  Thinking of adding
	109 {Mix|Station}: selected-station-name

There's also the question of whether (and for how long) to retain 101/102 as-is for legacy support.  Thoughts?
