After considerable grumbling and experimentation(I am stubborn) I did those
things.  I still miss the master music list and the album covers at the
bottom of the playlist rather than wasting 3 inches of content,
particularly since I've had to scan in the covers of a goodly number of
them(apple is far from my only music source and I REALLY dislike most
popular music) i also liked being able to turn lists upsidedown now and
then and have yet to find that, if it still exists.
