You get full control of play, pause, skip and volume from this mode so as a listener it’s easy to swith to fullscreen Coverflow and have a digital jukebox at your command.

You can select the option to ‘Look for Apple TVs’ in the Preferences menu as well as ‘Remove’ connected units.

I also noticed while browsing around that when you Get Info on any given track in your library, you can now fill in ‘Sorting’ metadata. I’m not really sure purpose this data will serve, but when you are browsing the list view, contextual menus now include an ‘Apply Sort Field’ function. Intriguing…
