Amarok GUI wishlist

I tried Amarok 2.0 . Really the team has tried many radical things. Displaying the album covers in playlist was very intutive :-). However I feel that the developer team has workedon widescreen laptops and missed the normal square screens enitrely. The three panes, its a lot of space on the screen real estate. The current song info applet covers a lot of space. I can't see the whole info it shows without scrolling. Maybe you can allow more user control over it. Allowing it to wrap around is also a good option.

A request for another applet. Most of the guys like to sort their albums by the album names rather than artist (especially the folks in India who listen to songs organised by the movies they appear in, I liked the image here about movie "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" http://dot.kde.org/1228929938/ ). So this is a request for applet like if I click on the album name in the collection its songs appear in the applet in the middle plane below the "cuurent track info" applet. Even if many organize their collection by artist they would welcome it to. Expanding the album tree in the collection list in the left pane makes it too long and hence unscrollable.

Please give us an option for the use of skins and themes, like a small toolbar that can sit over title bar, like mini view in Songbird. Thanks a lot Amarok team for a great music player.
