For the sake of argument, the play back and forward buttons are also
source specific. Personally I don't think that having the search on
the toolbar will cause confusion, and it is used in almost all sources.

Well I might argue that having it near the browser instead of the song
list will confuse people. I think that it's position in my one
makes it far more obvious what it is in relation to. Also it's something
that will be used in all sources.

Yeah, I'll leave that to you/everyone else - it's not really vitally
important at this stage..

Ok cool

I still kinda prefer my one and am gonna work on it a little bit more.

What do you think of the checkboxes idea for shuffle and repeat?
