Hi, Understand it's an initial effort, so no worries on lack of polish. Some comments:
1. Grid mode relies solely on album cover. If there is no album cover you use a default icon - but no text. Thus in grid mode there is no visual data about the album, neither in the grid view nor with a cursor-over popup. For folks who have a lot of live recordings (bootlegs, etc) that may have no album cover, this is not useful. 2. There needs to be a visual prompt for the icon-size adjustment slider, otherwise it looks like screen candy and not a control that does something. 3. When using composer/artist view mode, you're using a loop to iterate through the data, but you include the text "Albums" inside the loop so it shows up for every album. That wastes a fair bit of both screen real estate and processing. 4. Same issue for composer/artist view as for grid view -- reliance on cover without showing album title reduces usefulness. 5. Just lock the playbar in position. It takes up little space; locking it removes need for the upper-right icon and the code for hiding/showing it. Will comment more later - off to feed friend's dogs.
