Ok, so here's my new draft of the feature.
I added a maximized mode, which can only see one collection at a time, but
preserves the ability to quickly access all collections at a time.
I also added a "Trash target". And I put in a description of how CDs could be
handled in A2.

You can see my draft in the image. I'm not sure how you can make it *really*
obvious, but this has discoverability in mind so I believe it should be
enough. I toyed with a drop box too, but it lacked the ability to select so I
removed it.
