New Stacked Album Art Display

I'd like to hijack and say again that little iddy biddy tiles in the bottom details list would totally round out the library view. Think about it, you click on a tile in the top list and it filters out the bottom list to show something like the album thumbnails now, but on each thumbnail is a little "files" link. Clicking on that shows you the songs for that album, and hovering in the corner is a little "back" button to take you back to the tiley album thumbnails.

It would be faster than clicking on "files" in the top album view because, as it stands, you have to keep clicking in a level until you can find the album with the tile you want to see the files for.  Or, you have to switch from "album thumbnails view" to "files view" and then scroll through the list to find the song that you want to.
Feasibly, with my suggestion, as long as you can see the album in the bottom list, at any level in the top one, you'd be able to jump to just the songs of that album, for tagging and individual song choices almost instantly.

I think adding shadows as Pink Waters suggested is almost necessary since the boxes are not drawn and the separation between the cover is not as clean and does seem a bit busier now.

Mr ChriZ:
Love Pink Waters Idea!

Quisp:
oops, didn't see this thread. I like the idea, but I'm not a fan of the current rotating icon stack. It is too busy, adds noise, is a pretty klutzy illustation and completely screws with the grid. All this and the info it provides isn't that meaningful.

I like the idea of a subtle approach, Pink Waters is on the right track, though I don't know why there couldn't be a subtle ghosted back icon somewhere with the number of albums in the icon. Apple's Aperture does this as does Photoshop Elements.

Pink Waters:
Maybe narrowing the rotaion of the stacks will solve the busy contrast..

or maybe adding a small rounded boarder in the corner of the covers with the number of sub-albums/covers may be another good idea instead of the stacks ?
