It shows two things: 1. The name of the currently-playing media, or "Paused" 2. the current playback time #1 can be moved into the window title, which would also be nice in general to make the text more descriptive for users of traditional Task Managers #2 can be displayed beside or below the plsyback scrubber, which is the more typical UI style for media playback apps
If we move the playback time below the scrubber it makes no practical difference, we'll still occupy a line height's worth of space, no?
True, I guess it would have to be on the side, like Elisa and VLC have it.
