Hi Sam,
I think you have some very good ideas here. Some comments inline.

* One important thing I was going to implement is tagging. I know
tagging has turned into some kind of meaningless internet buzzword at
the moment but I have a few actual uses for it. Such as, sometimes I
have the urge to play guitar over records for a while. It's only certain
songs though and I thought the best solution is to tag these songs with
"guitar" or something. Then I simply filter for that tag and my problem
is solved. I'm sure there are some other good uses too (perhaps it could
be used instead of genres like on last.fm <http://last.fm>? Though I'm
not interested in this feature personally.) I have a couple of songs I
only listen to at Christmas as well. An xmas tag that I filtered out for
50 weeks of the year would sort that out. So I think they would be
pretty useful.
Good idea. I've created a new bug for this:

* I don't like how the artist name and album are links to last.fm
<http://last.fm>. The first time I used them there was a song playing
and on the spur of the moment I decided I wanted to listen to the entire
album. So I clicked the button, thinking it would have the same effect
as hunting for it in the browser window, and instead a browser pops up
and totally throws me off. I appreciate the idea of having links to the
last.fm <http://last.fm> pages but I also really want to be able to
browse to the current artist/album without searching through a tiny
listbox or typing the whole name. Maybe we can solve this using a right
click menu or something. (and see also:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317517 about last.fm
<http://last.fm> links for arbitrary songs)
Good idea. I've created a new bug for this:

* The little speaker icon (and its counterpart the no entry
sign) is mentioned in bugzilla here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144181
Originally I thought it was a big waste of space and could be replaced
by just making the entry bold. (Though I seem to remember that's a huge
pain with a GTK listview for some reason.) Then I realised it could be
pretty useful for showing
a song's position in the queue, there's the little no entry sign, etc.
So I don't remember why I brought this up.
This column is also used for the playback error indicator. Not that
boldface is a bad idea...

- The "last played" field is silly, it should be a friendly date
like the ones in the the new GTK file select dialog etc. Seeing all
these 2005-12-17 is way too technical for a music player, I want
"yesterday" and "two days ago" etc.
Completely agree with you. This has been happening piecemeal over the
last few months. Here's the final bit:

Good stuff.
