1. Directly show an album\'s total play time (maybe next to the large cover, and/or in the \"Albums by ...\" box)

2. Option to easily remove album from playlist (maybe when right-clicking on an entry in the album column).

A more simple approach to these problems would be some kind of \"easy album selection\" (select all tracks belonging to the same album in the playlist). I can think of several ways to do this, but none seems really satisfactory to me.

So.. thinking more and more about this..the following vision popped up in my mind: When hovering over an entry in the album column, a small version of the cover image appears where the cursor is, representing the entire album. This can be dragged around in the playlist, and dragged onto a trashcan or some kind of tray (putting the cd back into the shelf)... btw. of course single tracks should be removable like this as well.
Instead of removing by dragging, another option would be to attach small clickable icons to the floating cover image: a trashcan and an \"Edit Album Information\"-thing.. maybe more. I prefer dragging though.

uh, comments?
