Is your idea to have this information in the playlist buffer? What comes
to mind is a "playlist format string" which allows you to add the
information in the playlist buffer in a gnus like manner. 

For example:

Track Name             |  Length  |  Last played   | Score |
------------------------------------------------------------
Beethoven - No. 14 ... |  13:44   |  Two days ago  | 7.8   |

Or was your idea a completely separate interface. I am not a fan of
multiple separate interfaces to information.

This list is a good place to "write the idea down". My last exam is the
start of next month, then we will see...
