Hmm, not sure how well that works if you have lots of tracks in the 
collectionview. if i understood it correctly, each vertical mouse movements 
scrolls the viewport. Is it possible that you are unable to select a track 
because it is automatically scrolled out of the viewport when you try to move 
the mouse to it?

Are the buttons used to toggle parts of the collection, so that you can for 
example show local collections and web sources at the same time? Or are they 
more like tabs?

Sounds good. If all the actions are available in the context menu too e won't 
have to care about accessibility.
