Album Art views and Now Playing (feedback requested)

[Teknojnky]

I have long wanted to have a strictly album art view in the now playing views (now playing window, and now playing node).

Currently, you can select 'album art with details' while in the now playing node, but the now playing window still only allows track details.

I propose that both the NP Node, and NP Window both allow the full album art view, and both remember their settings independently from the main library views.

Additionally, the now playing album art view should show the track title & artist, instead of the album name & artist that the album art view shows when used with the main library nodes.

I think this would be a huge improvement in MM 'mass appeal', giving a similar now playing view as itunes coverflow etc.

I agree wholeheartedly with you.

I don't really use the aa view much in the main view. Even when in now playing node.
I also tried a script that create a now playing node with aa view that refresh every time a new song starts.
I didn't find it practical at all.

Now if the now playing panel could show AA view, it would be absolutely fantastic.
Making my Monkey gorgeous while being practical at the same time.

Default view I would like to use is for my part:

Abum art with details (on now playing pane)
Details (on library pane)

The opposite (the way it's currently in MM) doesn't make much sense to me.
Though I like the AA view option, don't get me wrong, but I think it's sad it's not available for the now playing window.
