I like the popUp for the Library Tab and the idea place a playlist table and the
library table next to each other. But some of the stuff is unclear to me.

In your Info Tab, which Table is shown there?
What is shown in the More Tab, this makes no sense to me without some explanation.
Where are the results of a search in the "Search all (FTS index based)" field shown?
What does FTS stand for?

I've worked on a update of my design over this week and added some of Daniels stuff.

Crates Tab
- iPhoto and Shotwell can group different Events and show them in a grid. This
scheme should work for crates as well.
- once a crate is selected it will be shown at the top and under it a treeview
grouped by artist/song

Artist/Track Info
- this should work like the taskbar in andriod. You can pull up the track info
for the selected track. There should be some programs with a smiliar GUI for
this but I can't remember any.

More
- Recordings/Set Logs/Analyze are things that would distract my in the library
so I've put them here, but I'm not a DJ so any advice where this should be put
is appreciated

Coverflow
- can be activated with the "view" button. This could be useful for crates and
   emulated the analog search in a crate. Ideally a doubleclick on the CoverArt
   should give a Tracklist (like Coverflow on an iPod). But I'm not sure if Apple
   has any design patents on this. I know that VirtualDJ has Coverflow, they show
   the cover for every track that is found in the current table.

Library Tab
	- This treeview is similar to the one in Clementine, I've just left out the big
	  Letters. I think they look ridiculous  if you have only one genre that starts
	  with A for example
	- if a Playlist is opened we get a 2 column layout on the right. 
	- I would like to have a Table for the library since this way we can display
	  a lot of track meta data like bpm/key/length/... which is not possible in
	  a tree view. I like this because I can to a quick search in the treeview and
	  see a lot of information in the table.
	- the treeview grouping can be changed with a button
	- access to Rhytembox/Clementine/... is given with a popUp, see Daniels MockUp
