I never said "dump the new toolbar" anyway. I'm just saying that new users 
should have to search for basic functionality that's all. I showed the current 
app to a few of my friends and told them that we're investigating new ways for 
the next/previous function. After that I asked them to skip to the next track 
please without clicking the song itself and none of them got it. They all gave 
up eventually. Especially because we are gaining on 2.3 tagging basic 
functionality should be given and not have to be found.

Which comes to another very important point. I guess this new feature wasn't 
discussed out before really throwing it into the app. I mean by hell it was 
discussed after it was in a lot. But it don't think this is the way it should 
work with such important functionality. Especially because this is one of the 
main items a new user will evaluate the app after he has changed from another 
one. You cant make everyone happy but you should at least try to keep a few 
happy users no?
