Excellent document, congratulations.

About the issue:  3.13 Large width of search bar (playlist):
I reported the same wish/bug to "kdebugs" but they didn't like the proposal:  \
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126249


I'm not agree with "3.19 Unnecessary use of Files browser":
My brother (with knows nothing about "collection" concept) uses it ALWAYS. In fact \
it's the only he uses to select music. Sometimes he browse him music with Konqueror, \
but just sometimes. The same with many friends of mine: no one of them know the \
concept of tags collection/library and use always the "file" concept, but they use \
amarok file browser more than just Konqueror. Anyway the amaroK file browser allows \
typical actions of amaroK as "add to the playlist", "edit info"... and it's easy to \
use, more than draging and dropping files from Konqueror to amaroK playlist (that \
forces the user to see at the same time the konqueror and amaroK-playlist windows.

Congratulations again for an excellent work!
