Some first impressions:
- A lot of wasted space.
- 50 pixel album thumbnails by default are really, really small.
- I'm not partial to the list view in gallery mode, but I suppose
without the ability to resize the browse frame, it may be better than
the columnar approach.
- I wouldn't want thumbnails in the playlist, so I would think that
needs to be an option.
- Too sparse of a home page, requiring an extra click to get to all
the browse modes.
- I don't know if it makes sense to me to pull the album info up in a
dynamic window, then display track info in the main browse window.
- Volume control is awkward.
- Control images (repeat, shuffle, etc.) need alt/title tags.
A couple of things I notice that may be bugs (as seen in Firefox
2.0.0.6):
- Huge page margin - looks like at least 20 pixels.
- Songinfo page layout isn't being put into columns.
- The first time I played a song, it launched a new window/tab. The
same as the now playing (player control) pane. Hasn't been
repeated.
- During playback of the first track when playing an album, no track
information is displayed in the now playing pane.
Overall, I think the generous spacing and sparseness look like they'll
require more scrolling, more mouse movement to accomplish the same
things as before. It's nice looking - kinda ipodish.
