Addon idea - now playing record player

Today I was trying to think of a unique addon that could be made for Songbird, and I liked this idea, so I thought I would share it. When a song is playing in Songbird or iTunes, the player simply shows the song's album cover in the lower left, which works well, but it is very static. People like the interaction and appearance of record players, so I thought it would be neat to replace the now playing cover with one since it is more representative of what music looks like when you play it in the physical world.
I just threw this together in photoshop, and I couldn't really draw my own parts for the record player so it doesn't look great.


If you double clicked an album in your library, as you normally would, and play it, the needle could move over and the record could start playing. To represent the album you are currently playing, the inner image on the vinyl could be a cutout from the album cover (I saw this technique done in a theme for an iTunes app called bowtie: http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewtopic... ).
In addition, as shown in the picture, I thought that for those who really wanted to relive the vinyl experience, you could click an album cover and drag it- once you start dragging the cover it could turn into the vinyl, which you could manually place onto the record player to start the album.

I just thought this would be an addon that would really stand out and do something different in Songbird.
