Bug Description

I love the Contextual Information plugin, but I think it could take some improvements!

My ideas in short:
*Let the user arrange the information boxes with drag & drop
*Display length of the tracks at album-overview
*Display number of discs for an album at albums-overview (where possible)
*Display what disc the tracks are on at albums-overview (where possible)
*Order the tracks by tracknumber at albums-overview (where possible)
*Rearrange the information about an album at albums-overview
-*On the left you got the cover, in the middle the name of the album and on the right more information on that album (year, discs, trackcount)
*Rearrange the song-information
-*Put together year and album
-*Display disc where possible (I would put it in front of the year)
*Show information on title and duration when you hover over a track in the album-overview (this could be useful with long tracknames)

To show what my ideas could look like I made a quick mockup, see attachment.

I'm open to any ideas regarding what I'd like to see :)

To further add to the list of features, I'd love to see to be able to "stick" to lyrics. Currently, if you click on lyrics, it shows you the lyrics of the current song, and once the song changes, it switches back to the context menu of the song. I'd love to be able to keep it on the lyrics between song changes.

I'll stick here with my thoughts. It freezes an application for a while on a track change :(

It would be great if the list of album by the same artist were in order of release date, most recent first.
