I have a few requests/suggestions (forgive me if they are requested somewhere else, by someone else, in some other thread):
1. The bottom left pane ("File Properties", "Playlists", etc.) is only for displaying artwork. The header bar of the pane would be "click-able". By default, the header bar would read "Selected Item(s)" and would show the artwork (if exists) for the item selected on the right-hand side in the, for example, song listview. If I click the header bar of the proposed Image pane, the header bar text changes to "Now Playing" and shows the artwork for the song that is currently playing. Clicking (single-click) the header bar toggles between "Selected Item(s)" and "Now Playing". If I double click the image in the Image pane, a new window opens, centered on the screen, showing the image in its full size.
2. In the view scheme panes, the "<all>" listing shows a count, so that in my "Artist" pane, the "<all>" listing would say "<all> (1024 Artists)". Likewise for the "Album" pane (or any pane for that matter). If I select an artist, say "Coldplay", then the "Album" pane would show "<all> (6 Albums)".
3. Get rid of the "Wizard..." icon to the left of the search box and include a small dropdown icon (a small, solid arrow pointing down) that, when clicked, shows a menu that has "Artist", "Album", "Title", "Genre", "Composer", etc. so that if I change the search box to "Artist", my search is limited to searching for artists based on what I type in the box, and the search box does not grow with the string length. The search box would function on key stroke such that as I am typing, say "Col", the items listed are filtered as I type, based on the search type I have chosen from the search dropdown.
4. To the right of the search box, or in place of the wizard icon, have an icon that, when clicked, changes the view from the view scheme panes to a listing of all files. This icon would toggle the view on a single click.
More to come...
