Known issue. Here comes a shot. 
Happy bashing :-)

@Markey: 
sorry, but the sunken gradient worked especially _not_ with the oxygen style
(adn most other styles offer options or fixed toolbar gradients/plates anyway)  
:-(

Cycling is meant to provide extra info (as the "Title" tag can be as useless 
as "Allegro")
I agree that whether things like year and the genre need to remain is 
debatable ;-)

Replace "various" by "a" or name more ;-P

The filtering is mainly a relict from when you could "easily" select the 
current item with the mousewheel (now changes volume)
I simply thought it would be nice to easily filter for all entries of this 
artist, genre or whatever.
A better usage might in fact be to jump to the song in the playlist

see above.

see above.
the track number should not be part of the list, but there's some heuristic to 
break down the information from the filename in case the tune has not tags. in 
fact a delimited track number will then be part of it... :-\

Hummm?
Technically it's just a QDial (only override painting is overridden)
Does it behave different from normal dials for you?
