Hi!
First of all: Thanks for this great piece of software!
I use the Android app on my Android car radio. So this is obviously in landscape mode. But in landscape mode there is not much space to scroll through the libary, because the start/forward/rewind buttons on the bottom and the top menu use most of the display space.
Is it possible to reduce or minimize the control menu and buttons to get a better navigation expierience?

Even if not, thanks a lot! :-)

At one point I had similar ideas for the playback screen in landscape mode.

For browsing, the left side could be used for browsing and keep the right side as playback controls. Just an idea for a starting point.

Even in the vertical view, I think the playbars are too close to the edges. I agree that I like this side-by-side view... just 2-cents to make the playbars a little narrower.
