Pop India Radio improvements

Added a status bar that basically tells you if the song is still loading or not - I noticed that sometimes you would have to wait a while for the song to start. Now at least you will know that its just loading and hasn't actually crashed! Also, the application will tell you which language you are listening to (tamil, punjabi, or hindi) .. just in case you can't tell ;)

Finally, added a nice little icon for the website in general. I found a nifty website that helps you make a .ico file from an image you already have:

Upcoming fixes

There seems to be a lot of traffic coming these days, and pop india radio seems to be getting kind of slow. It's possible that the traffic is the culprit, in any case, I'll be adding some more tools to better the experience (loading bar, status text etc.)

Also, for the Virtual Tabla, I'm thinking of adding a few new sounds. Namely "DheRe" and the "slide" effect for the bayan (bass). If you've ever heard the tabla played before, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about!

For those of you who've never heard all the amazing sounds you can play with the bayan (the bass drum), let the Tabla master show you below! (I know I know, the guy on the flute is a bit funny)
