All available songs. > If only one or the other is displayed, > doesn't that preclude the idea of dragging songs from the list of songs > to the jukebox list. The play queue replaces the browser when you drop it down. So you can easily drag back and forth. > In general it seems to me that proposed change is too great and I think > it would be a mistake to move Rhythmbox in the direction of Muine. > Muine is a fine product with many nice features (I love the album > covers) but it is missing a lot of things which make Rhythmbox great. Let me clear up one thing - this isn't really related to Muine. XMMS has had a queuing model forever, and it's the XMMS use case that I really want to handle. Currently in Fedora we ship both XMMS and Rhythmbox, for various reasons, but I think the main reason is that XMMS has the queueing UI that some people really want. > My all means, please don't remove the search field.

Hm, interesting idea, but I don't think there's enough space there for having both the browser and the play queue side by side. I think we still want columns like the rating, etc in the play queue so people can easily rate the playing songs.
