Bug 322820 - Playlist is not reachable from home screen

[Ashish Madeti]

Hi Shantanu,
If you think the 1st solution bring unnecessary clutter to the home screen
, we can make it auto-hide like on the now playing screen.

Another way to implement Solution 1, like if we presently click the empty
area in the top and there is a media player instance it goes to it, we can
make it go to the playlist page if there is no media player instance.
