Thanks for this detailed review.

This is already covered in the specification: "The item should highlight
when navigated to, or on mouseover, just as normal menu items do".

> Hover : Text from grey to white

This is fixed now: apart from its wacky alignment, it behaves just like

This is fixed now too: it behaves just like a normal menu item.

> #5 Click : Navigates current sound
