UI desing / layout ideas

As amarok 2.x development progresses we might stumble upon ideas how to improve it. Put a describiton of improvement you think it would improve amarok usability.

Move toolbar

July 2008: My first idea is to move playback controls (volume, buttons, progress bar) somewhere else. In my opinion at the current top position are taking too much space to other elements in window.

I made some simple mockups to show how it could be placed under plasmoids (or maybe at the top of center area). Or maybe playback controls could be made also as an plasmoid...

Mockups: <- this link points to nothing

suggested features

August 2009: Rightclick pop-up menu gives option 'add current track to playlist'. Comment: which contenxt menu is this about?
