Tested locally. Feels really good! The best toolbar imho, even if initially 
you have to get used to that.

The best part of it (apart from the stunning looks of the volume and 
play/pause animated buttons) is that it adds information about the prev and 
next tracks.  You really want to know what's the next song is, especially if 
you're in random mode, especially if you're running a Party in your house!

I've got a couple of little suggestions too:
 * animated slide on next/prev. see, they're aligned, they're begging for 
that! ;-)
 * a little more centering of the next and previous songs, so you don't have 
to walk mouse-miles in a wide screen
 * maybe next/prev btns too ?

Thanks Thomas ;-)

Enrico
