I doubt that :)
One of the problems with the artwork is that you'd need a taller cell to
show the artwork, too. And this means, in Landscape mode you'd have
space for only four rows. It's hard to see something useful there and
it's impossible to move cells, I'm pretty sure in landscape mode the
artwork would hurt even more than in portrait.
The playlist menu just doesn't work in landscape, that's why it isn't
showing, the screen properties are not made for it.

Are you sure you haven't enabled the party mode? Although the "Edit"
button should never show if you do.
I have tried all type settings and the "edit" button never goes away for
me so I doubt that's it.
On iPhone 4 there is a bug in the current version that can distort the
MultiPlayer screen on the very first start, it helps to kill the App
through the control center and restart it. Could it be that you somehow
see a similar effect on iPhone 5? Should only happen on the first start,
though.
If restarting doesn't help, could you send me a screen shot?

Yes. Dynamic type is a good idea if you have a lot of text to show but
whenever you have a more complex screen layout where you need to exactly
position control elements it just doesn't work. It's also another
performance killer and performance of the iOS 7 runtime is already
pretty dismal.
I plan to use it in the main menus at a later state but currently not.

I don't really understand the point of the sub-sub menus, do you mean
when you open a context menu from NowPlaying?
Apart from that: the home button got replaced by "back" for several
reasons
- The home button just looked too ugly under iOS 7
- The button actually _is_ a "back" button. Which means that
- This indicates that the "back" system gesture iOS 7 defines also
works (swipe from the left screen edge) which means you don't have to
use the button at all. It works pretty well even with the sliding
subscreens on NowPlaying
