May I suggest the following as a layout idea, navigating it the same way you navigate iTunes.

The top level of the main view would hold the same contents as the left column of iTunes - iTunes Library, Inserted Discs, Shared iTunes Libraries on your LAN, iTunes Playlists - in addition to the shares you can add in the configuration utility.

The left menu:
- View (Same as current)
- Sort By (Title, Artist, Album, Genre, Rating, Year, Time, Date Added, Last Played, Playcount, Disc Number)
- Switch View (Normal, Artist, Album, Genre, Rating, Year)
- Shuffle Off, Shuffle
- Repeat Off, Repeat All, Repeat Track
- Create Playlist (A normal iTunes playlist)
- Search

The F9 context menu on a file would let you:
- Delete the file (or remove from the Playlist, depending whether the selected file is in your Library or a Playlist)
- Add to a playlist
- Change the rating (Current dialouge for this is too complex, tapping one button should just cycle through 1 2 3 4 5 0 stars)
- Reset playcount
- Enable/disable track (like ticking the box next to a track in iTunes)
- Find coverart

The F9 menu on a playlist or folder would let you:
- Delete the playlist or eject the share or disc (depending on what you click on - can you do this?)
- Find coverart - but I guess this one will only work if you have the view set to Album
