Comment 4 for bug 1321841

Taking another look at that screenshot, I don't think it would be good to imitate that exactly in the track list area. I propose a sort of hybrid between that Banshee screenshot and iTunes' interface. That is, the leftmost column would list artist, the column to the right would list album titles with cover thumbnails and year, and the column to the right of that would list tracks with track number, title, and duration. Which tag is listed in each column should be configurable. For example, some users may want a genre column to the left (or perhaps right) of the artist column. Which tags are displayed in what positions should be configurable in the track column as they are currently in the library display.

I think this would end up making considerably better use of limited screen space, particularly for small screens. Personally, I feel that the library display is kinda cramped and awkward to navigate in most skins currently. This may obviate the desire for the ability to detach the library display from the main window (I cannot remember where I saw that proposed).
