Hey Louisloius,
Apprently your comment points to our opposing attitudes, as I commented on mixturtle that you had too much below the fold. ;)
I don't think users should have to scroll to see content, particularly when there is a sub-scroll and a map. I think it would suck if you scolled down, selected an address, had to scroll back up to get to see the location, or the player(I originally had my player inline like you have on mixturtle, but wasn't a huge fan of it that way, preferring the consistent location for the control).
Having said all that, your site looks way better than mine, so I definately take your critique seriously. I've already started piecing together a new layout, but with the additional features I have coming, it is only getting heavier. :(
My original had the map seperate form the controls, and I may return to that.
Thanks - hope all is going well with mixturtle.
lol I wasn't sure if you would pick up on that, I tried to keep it subtle hehe.
Anyway I think if you really wona keep everything before the fold, I'd suggest giving the bands-box more weight than the map. If you swapped it round that would work quite well. So the map would be 30% of space and bands get 70% rest. But if you're thinking of adding lots of markers to the map, I'd suggest 50/50 split.
