</div>For the playcount, rating and last played, I think it would be better<br>
to show actual text (like we did in 1.4).<br>
It difficult to understand what the numbers mean without context,<br>
especially because they are all on the same line.<br>
<br>
Can we do something which more akin to Amarok 1.4?<br>
