I always feel like the bad cop lol.
It’s a nice idea and would work for most landscape displays and if I was making an iPad app or whatever that’s how I’d have done it but we have a web ui without a fixed screen size and have to consider situations where the display doesn’t fit the cover art + album info. So we could scroll both sections separately or try to shrink the cover section to fit but 1) gross and 2) it’s easier and more elegant to just scroll everything.
I don't think most of us appreciate just how hard a problem this is. Not only do @swizzle and @Tim Curtis have to deal with the landscape/portrait dichotomy but also with differing screen geometries/aspect ratios. As a kicker there are at least four different browser layout engines in play---Trident, EdgeHTML (fork of Trident), Webkit, Blink (fork of Webkit), and Gecko. The browser developers all swear they are fully compatible but niggley differences keep cropping up.
Glad it's them and not me
