Getting the track info in picture-in-picture mode

[aalaap]

In the desktop web player, the picture-in-picture mode pops out the album cover and keeps it on top while you work in different tabs or even other applications. This is great for me, because I am a very active listener and I'm always tuned in to what's playing. Music is never a background activity for me.

However, that's exactly what the problem is for me. In PiP mode, I can always see the album art, but to see the track and artist names, I have to switch to the actual Spotify tab in the browser. I would expect to hover over the window to also get the info - the track name and the artist name - in addition to playback controls.

I mocked up something that I would like to see:

Normal:

On hover:

This would be really helpful.

Is there any way I can achieve this right now? If not, is this a feature request worth considering?
