As seen to the left, the mouseover ability does not display the player preview (music is still playing). Note that you can still use |<, play, >| buttons as they poke out from the bottom of the missing image.

All of a sudden 20 songs in my playlist that I added around 5 years ago says that they were added 2016-12-16. I always sort my playlists by recently added so I get the most fresh songs on top and this screws up that philosophy.
