Very easy: Bring back the old layout! The new layout is illogical and costs too much space and doesn't show everything.

Illogical: pane 1 is collection, pane 2 is individual song, pane 3 is playlist. Logical: collection (big), playlist (smaller), song (smallest)

Costs too much space: the 'excel view' in Amarok 1.4 shows lots of info in a relative small area. Also the sorting was much easier.

Doesn't show everything. As the article points out, info like genre or bitrate is not visable right away.

I'm eager to use it because of the new sound system, but the UI was so irritating and annoying that after 2 weeks of trying I went back to 1.4 and won't use version 2 until the 'excel view' returns.
