Ideas for PLAYLIST CREATION:

How about if you select a song/album and press AND HOLD the OK button on your remote, this will add to the playlist (don't know if this is user friendly/reliable)? OR, while browsing your music, you press your INFO button, and there's a PLAYLIST MODE available with an ON/OFF marker, that when selected (turned on) will show an additional menu where you can set it up "on the fly". Suggestion for this menu:

* ALBUM MODE | Click on albums to add it wholly [ ] (chosen albums will receive a green border)
* SINGLE MODE | Click on albums to browse individual tracks [ ] (chosen tracks will receive a green border)
* AVOID MULTIPLE ENTRIES | Won't add the same track twice [ ]
* USE LAST.FM/SCROBBLE | Single mode/Album mode could have different options [ ]
* SIMILAR GENRE RANDOM PLAYLIST FROM x USER TRACKS | Select x tracks, a playlist within these genres will be created

Other useful features could be, SHOW LATEST ADDED TRACKS/ALBUMS, SHOW NEWEST TRACKS/ALBUMS

What I really don't like in MediaPortal's current music (browsing) is that the filenames are shown, instead of the content of the ID3 tags. It's not until you're playing the tracks that they're "pretty names" are shown.
