the width of the user's screen?  I run 1440x1050, so I have plenty of
space for all of it in the toolbar...

Yeah; but again I think Luca's proposals fix this.

iTunes is funky, I agree.  But it is also very usable.  Apple has a
pretty hard-earned reputation for user-friendliness, and we should think
carefully about diverging from that.
