Artist / Album and Now Playing column customizations and behavior

[jokrump]

I just started using musicbee after finally giving up on winamp ever being supported again or not coming back as spyware-riddled crap. Have to say, Steven, you've built an amazing music player. I do, however, have a few requests (if there are current solutions and I'm ignorant of them, I apologize) regarding future builds to bring them aesthetically on par with the best of old winamp.

The top columns for Artist / Album / x user choice should be resizeable. Currently, it seems that they're fixed in size. Two columns each take half of total available width, three columns take 1/3 of total available width and so on. My personal preference is two resizeable columns for Artist and Album with discrete "sub-columns" for each. Where we currently only have "Show Count" for total track numbers, I would like to see both a "total tracks" and "albums per artist" as sub-columns in the Artist main column. Ex: U2 = ARTIST  5 = ALBUMS 50 = TRACKS. In the main Albums column, I would like to see "Album", "total tracks", "year" for album year, and "Album Length" as sub-columns. Ideally, all of the sub-columns would be sortable. Again, this is to mimic what I saw as the best in old Winamp.

Regarding the Now Playing panel on the right (rather than the Now Playing tab), I would like to see a non-column option. I realize the column fields allow users to re-sort a playlist and some users might be keen to keep that. If there's a way to give users the option of a sub-column divided Now Playing panel and a non-divided panel, please adopt it. Personally, I would love to see musicbee take winamp's approach to this. I would like to see an automatically flexible space (per track) on the extreme right of the Now Playing panel dedicated to track length. You should disallow flexing the interior width of the Now Playing column beyond the actual screen width for this non-subcolumn look. The other part of each playlist item's entry should read "(Playlist Number). (Artist) - (Track Title)" Ex: 1. U2 - With or Without You  5:00. Artists and titles whose combined widths exceed the available width of the Now Playing panel should scroll the (artist) - (title) information left to right to left and so on when the track is currently being played (or, perhaps, always) rather than terminating in ellipses...

Thanks for taking these considerations to mind. If current solutions already exist, please point me to them.
