What do you think? Does every thing work properly (especially on older browsers like IE 6)?

I think that perhaps I need an image preloading script of some sort on the front page at least. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I would go about implementing that?

Looks really good to me. I like the way you've used DHTML/JS instead of Flash.

My only critique is the fact that as the page loads, the text is all visible and then when it has loaded completely the JS function to hide the divs runs, and it all contracts as it should. If its possible you may want to make the divs with text in display: none as their default status.

*edit*
Just checked in IE6, there's a few issues - the bold text looks distorted, i get a script error (although all the tabs works) and the final sections layout is skewed, here's an image...

That is a very nice design! Looks well in Firefox 3. The only thing I would change is the fonts for the main text content. Looks very fine. I'd probably change fonts and increase size slightly but other than that it looks well.

I like it, apart from what has already been said; change the cursor type to a hand when you hover over the links, so it's instantly recognisable that you have to click the banners to see each section.

Looks nice - as well as what has been said above is that on my Firefox there is a problem with the Track list and Download buttons - the images making up the left and right edges are all over the place.

Looks really good. As above, problem too on Safari:

Thanks for the criticism guys. I have busy lately but have some spare time over the next day or two so wanted to try and fix some of these problems:

It seems that the main problems are in IE 6. I cant really understand why the text is coming out bold in IE 6 on the index.htm but fine on all the other pages. I had a look at the css and I cannot find a discernible reason why this should be so.

Here is a link to see what I (or rather Spunkey) is talking about:
