[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 752448, member: 11220"] I am talking about simply never opening the playlist screen. To do the basic use case of playing and queuing tracks you never actually need to go into the playlist screen. No matter what you do playback is controlled via playlists (and was in MP 1.1). What was different in 1.1 was that under certain situations the actual playlist being used would be hidden from you and you would be displayed something that may or may not have been related to what is actually playing. Of all the players I have installed on this machine (WMP, Foobar, Winamp and MediaMonkey) every single one of these has a list of tracks that are queued up to play. This was missing (sometimes) in MP 1.1. This to me is basic functionality that users expect and is available in every player I can find except for MP. Whether you call this a playlist (WMP does) or a "now playing list" it is still a list of tracks that are queued up to play. First off this is not right and secondly most functionality still works just like this. Pressing select on a folder will always open the folder (as it did before). Pressing play on a folder will play that folder (as it did before). With default settings pressing ok on a track will play that track and all in the folder (as it did before). The only two differences are that (a) what is playing will now be shown on the playlist screen and (b) pressing play on a track will also play all the tracks in that folder (what actually happened in 1.1 was that pressing play on a track would clear the playlist, add that single track to the playlist and only play that single track). So other than adding tracks to the playlist the play button is now doing what you thought it should in MP 1.1. [/QUOTE]
