Agree with Adhir's experiences almost completely - so very exciting,
intricate and feature rich user experience.  After twenty or so minutes
I felt like I had figured most of the important stuff out That's a tall
order for many people, but I think we agree the target isn't
/completely/ the mainstream.

The help file discusses "selecting" the current action mode, I've seen
others here more helpfully identify it as "toggling" or even "setting"
might be more clear.  

Also, I was surprised to have different experiences when selecting the
album art on the left (--> current action applied) vs. the album name /
artist text on the right (--> down the tree.)  Not sure how to "learn"
that through the UI (without RTFM :-) but, as Adhir pointed out, some
enhanced visuals all around would be helpful:
* startup - sluggish experience is normal, but invisible ... anyway to
display a status bar?  Does the app know the full extent of the
"effort" from the getgo?
* action applied - found that helpful in the web skin, and surprised to
initally see my album added a handful of times... kind of a "tap it
harder, maybe that will do it" kind of experience which a little polish
would address easily.

As far as enhancement request - streaming to phone (as player) would be
sweet, and the little UI visuals should go a long way to leading the
user to learn the features and understand the current behavior.

One question - we have a small library server at work - any cautions
about connecting to that, then going home and connecting to (my
real...) home server (which is a much bigger library...)? 

Direct note to Pippen - it's an excellent effort and your participation
has been amazing.  Glad to be able to support you, and know that the
tool is a really fun way to interact with the music again.
