I had an idea a while ago of changing the "hide browser" arrow to a
choice menu where you can select different browser modes:

One browser mode would be the one we've got today.

Another browser mode would be a specialised "album mode" with an album
list looking like the one in muine and, if there is space left,
information about the selected album including zoomed-in artwork etc.

Third mode would of course be "hide browser".
