That works pretty well. The main problem it has is that it doesn't
remember the previous browse pane width.

Ideally, I think you'd have some kind of vertical bar on the side when
the playlist is minimized, with text (turned 90 degrees) or something
indicating that the playlist is underneat. Also, perhaps some kind of
arrow or other indicator when you mouseover the slider hotspot. Adding a
vertical bar may require rethinking the nested curved corners a little
bit. I've always thought that the outer one was unnecessary and just
wastes screen real estate.

I like this change a lot, but something I think others might dislike is
having the Now Playing and player controls hidden by it. The solution to
that could be to have Now Playing in an area outside of what slides
left/right. Maybe a horizontal pane that goes the whole way across the
screen, either on the top or bottom. I realize, though, that this would
be a lot more work.
