Please, I Have A Question before I get started

Well, there's OpenLaszlo, which handles the sounds/animation for
http:www.pandora.com, I understand. It may be overkill for a desktop
app, but it's free. It was originally written in Python, I think, but
it uses ECMAScript for scripting.

It's free, and reportedly handles sounds and animations, and isn't too
hard to program.
