I just installed it on my Ubuntu box which is running 5.8.8, I commented
the "use v5.10.0" line in the beginning of Plugin.pm to make it load.

I'm not sure if the following comments are related to perl 5.8.8 or if
it's a more general issues, but both my production setup and development
setup is using 5.8.8 at the moment and I don't want to upgrade the OS on
any of them and this is required to be able to easily install a newer
perl version on Ubuntu.

1. 
Generally, really great work!
I wish we would have seen something like this when Logitech decided to
move from Classic interface to the new Default interface, but I guess
the web browsers might not have been ready for it back then. The
performance is really great in my relatively small library, a lot better
than the standard Default skin in LMS.

2.
The "Artist" field in Currently Playing is always empty in my library.
When viewing the standard Song Info page in LMS web interface I see
"Album Artist" but not "Artist". I also tried it on compilation albums
where LMS displays both "Artist" and "Album Artist" in the Song Info
page and for these your interface seems to work properly but not for
normal albums which is at least 95% of the library.

3.
When I modify the playlist using the standard LMS web interface the
current playlist in your GUI is not updated. It's not even refreshed
when the track changes. This also makes the Album, Artist/Album,
Artist/Tracks tabs in currently playing confused because they show the
information for the track that was previously in the same position in
current playlist.

4.
I had some issue with the "Album" tab showing the wrong album initially
but after a while it started to work, not sure what triggered it.

5.
It only displays the first genre in currently playing view even if I
have tagged the track with multiple genres.

6. 
I'd really like drag & drop in current playlist to be able to re-order
tracks. 

7.
What about displaying ratings with real graphical rating stars and allow
the user to change rating directly by clicking on the stars, or at least
offer it for currently playing track in the header or currently playing
view ?

8.
It's a bit confusing when browsing and you don't have an easy way to go
back up. Yes, I know you can click on "Music Library" tab to get back
but it took a while until I realized that.

9.
Is there any way to show the real icons in the browse tree when browsing
radio stations instead of just showing the note icon ? 
I see the real icons when hovering the mouse above the item but not
directly in the list.

10.
When browsing into a playlist, it would be really great to be able to
reorder tracks with drag & drop.

11.
In the Library Statistics view, I'd really love to be able to browse
into the statistics, for example when I'm looking at it I might see some
strange genre or even "No Genre", I'd love to be able to view which
tracks/albums that are inside it.

12.
If possible, I'd like to double click on a favorite to play it. Having
to drag it to the Play button is a bit awkward.

13.
An opml favorite doesn't seem to work, I just get a forever spinning
wheel and then it crashed the computer on the server side within a
minute because it run out of memory, feels like some kind of forever
ending loop or something. I setup http://opml.radiotime.com as a
favorite.

14.
When browsing I'd like to click or double click on a track to add it to
current playlist, the current behavior where I have to drag it to the
play icon in the upper right corner feels confusing and awkward.

15.
You are probably already aware of this but to make this useful for more
music it also needs support for the online services and not just
internet radio, I'm for example thinking about Spotify.

16.
Hitting enter in the search field in the "Search" menu should work to
execute the search in same way as it does in the search box in the upper
right corner of the interface.

17.
Support for Custom Browse plugin menus in a tree structure similar to
how you handle Radio browsing would be great.

18.
I wonder if would be a good idea to set a minimum size of the Window,
currently it doesn't work anyway if you size it too small because then
buttons and other stuff starts to disappear. I first thought this was a
bug where some buttons were cut in the middle but then I realized that
it was caused by me having too small window.

19.
I'm not sure it makes sense to have the scroll bar at the top to be able
to change track, feels strange, I think you can use that space for
something better.


Finally, I'd love to see this evolve to a non beta version, it looks
really promising so far, at least if you have a reasonably small library
or a fast server to use it towards.
