Why the need for a full-sized icon when in gallery view?  Can't 'All Songs' be given the same treatment as in prior skins - a single line with no icon?

Michael: is it difficult to have an empty graphic for All Songs?

We could probably define a special cover ID for the ALL_* browse items in browsedb.html:

Didn't test this code, but I imagine it's feasible. Would need some artwork. Could start with a modified version of the current.

If it's possible to just omit the artwork, that would be optimal, otherwise spacer.gif will do nicely.

No artwork for "all items"

I'm not sure this is looking good... That's my patch applied using spacer.gif. Shouldn't we use some other artwork instead?

(never mind the black corners - a remnant of the 8bit tests)

Alternative placeholder

The return of the question mark?...

No, not the question mark! :)  What would make sense for "All Songs"?  Maybe an icon showing multiple small music notes?

proposed "all" image with multiple albums

How about an image with multiple albums?

Noah should be the one making the final image.

That looks better :)

Change 15663 - add special cover artwork for the "All Songs" item: 
/music/all_items/cover.png

Ben - could you please use the above url for that menu item on Jive?

SC change 15672 pushes new "all" image to Jive for "Play All" menu item.

This isn't a Noah-created icon is it? If not, the bug should be left open and he should have final say on what the artwork will be.

Noah will be dropping a new set of tweaked icons.  We'll close this one and reopen if his new set has issues.

FYI, it's actually change 15695 on SC that addresses this issue for Jive
