I'm fairly sure I've mentioned this before, but I think having an "Album Info" window would be a good idea, and would be a good place for all these things. There would obviously me a similar Artist Info window I've whipped up a glade mockup (atatched) of the kind of thing I'm thinking of, although it could definitely use a lot of love. I'll try to get some screenshots up for people who don't have glade. The layout of basically the same as the Song Info window, just with different tabs. There are a few basic tabs, and others which can be provided by their respective plugins (Art, Last.fm etc). The "Basic" tab is virtually the same as the song info one, it lets you change the info of songs in the album - so you can fix a type in all your tracks at once. The "Tracks" tab lists all the tracks on the album, with basic info about them, and the Artist column is only shown when there are multiple artists on the album. Obviously this would use the normal track list instead of how I've done it in glade. "Statistics" is something I think would be cool, but I'm not sure what we should include. I've added a few random ones I thought up. The "Art" and "Last.fm" tabs don't look very good, but give an idea of what I think could go there. Any comments, or suggestions of how to make it not suck, are greatly appreciated. Cheers James "Doc" Livingston -- It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care -- Office Space
