That is a valid point, but on the other hand I do think that we need
some sort of mechanism that will allow the user to drag-n-drop tracks
from the browsers to the playlist *without* needing to cross a lot of
dead space first. I like the PUD way because it provides one possible
solution to this issue. I don't really know how to integrate mxcl's
idea, but having spent quite a bit of time on OS X i really like the
scrolling column
navigation, it feels really natural.
