1) Will users be able to configure the library to look exactly like it does
now? I mean, single list with the complete tree on the left.
My concern is: As far as I can understand, the only way to drag a song to a
playlist will be with two opened panes, because the playlist tree will only
be shown with the playlist pane open. Isn't it?
