Jorn, great to see you back hacking on GNOME apps. You know what would
be cool (imho). When I first looked at the screenshots of Muine I
thought that each row represented a full albume rather than a song and I
thought, wow that's a pretty nice UI. Then I saw that each row was a
song.

What do you think about instead using it for albume? Then it would be
like your CD collection rather than your song collection. For me at
least I don't really need a large UI like Rhythmbox or Jamboree, since I
mostly like to put on a disc that I know is good anyway.

You could also have "select a couple of disks and randomely play songs
from them".

The space to the right of the albume name could be used to show how many
songs the albume contains, full length of albume etc. Up at the "now
playing area" you could show the song currently playing and the albume
cover.

Any of this sounds interesting? I think it would be cool and it would
make it stand out a bit compared to the current music players.

Regards and once again, great to see you back at hacking,
  Mikael Hallendal
