karashata:
I can agree with you on that one, however, at least on the port to my player (the H10 20GB and iAudio X5 port) that logo is already removed to fit the status icons.  The only way I could see gaining some space to fit a playlist indication of any sort on that port would be to lose the line separating the current track's info from the next track's title and slipping it at the top of the screen as the first line below the Now Playing graphic, removing that graphic in favor of more space for information, or using a smaller font.  I'm not about to take liberty to make any alterations myself other than fixing bugs, however, since I didn't make the initial port.

fasmaie:
I agree that the logo should probably give way to something more functional.

I like the idea of play state being retained, as sometimes you may forget to turn off the player, or pause it and then you'd have to put the headphones to an ear to check play state.

yapper:
Although I never listen to audiobooks, I think the playlist position is a useful bit of information. It could sit beneath the progress bar, centred, in the position which is blank in some ports, and has the codec info in other ports.

IMHO fields like codec, bitrate, etc are best left to the Context menu.

I'm more for the logo than against it, unless someone comes up with a specific "must-have" field that can't be accomodated elsewhere.

Llorean:
"Is the playback time moving? No: Paused"

Seriously, Play/Pause state is perhaps the least useful information on there, considering the number of other pieces of information available as a user that let you know if you're paused or playing. The only time you wouldn't know is if your memory isn't good enough, or if something's buggy, and then considering we have both "Time Elapsed" and "Time Remaining" and a progress bar visible, you know if playback is happening.

That being said, I'd sacrifice next track information entirely for current playlist position (again, personal preference) because I actually make use of it on a regular basis (approximating how long the book remaining is, etc) while next track isn't, to me, functionally useful, merely nice to know.

soap:
Not to be a party pooper - for this WPS is shaping up...
1 - Playlist position is also important to me.
2 - I feel one of the strengths of the original Cabbie theme was its combined use of the "Now Playing" bar as both a static element, and the progress bar - making very effective use of limited space on the screen.
