Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
While the full player interface is useful and necessary for much of the sonixd navigation, I wish that there was the option to switch to a compact/minimal mode with a much simpler interface in a much smaller amount of screen space so more comfortably sit in a corner of my workspace to allow me to do simple controls without requiring all of the media library functionality of the standard UI.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have the option to click a toggle icon somewhere in the UI that switches the current sonixd UI between standard and compact modes. The classic Winamp application is a pretty good example of what I'm thinking of when I refer to a compact interface. It would just need to show the current track and provide controls next, prev, play/pause, stop, as well as thumnbnail of the album cover and a the usual window toolbar buttons.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've not seen any other subsonic-compatible players that have this feature, though they may exist. I have a strong preference for open source software and think sonixd is the best free player for my navidrome server that I've used so far.

This probably wont be added, Sonixd is the old player wih the new player at https://github.com/jeffvli/feishin
