Well, it seems I am never satis­fied with my foo­bar designs, so I spent some time last night refi­ning it some more.

I deci­ded to alter my SCPL to make things clea­rer. The code is here (note, this is a work in pro­gress and the code still looks messy), row height = 17, group rows = 4: GROUP | ITEMS

Some things to note, the album art resi­zes to an opti­mum dis­play size, so that albums of three tracks only can have art work dis­pla­yed without all the other albums suf­fe­ring from a small dis­play size. The maxi­mum image size is also easily defi­nea­ble, so with one change I can make all the art­work scale up to 300px. The second image shows how Various Artist albums are handled. 

I built the play­counts into a form of hot­ness rating, so that the more a track is pla­yed the dee­per orange and brigh­ter the track beco­mes. The ratings sys­tem is sepa­rate to this.
