[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 289258, member: 11220"] I know you can do this but is just not very intuitive. I sat my mum down in front of Meedio and she was using it with a couple of mins. Tried the same with MP and she just got frustrated and wanted to go back to Meedio. I don't think anyone expects to click play (or enter) on a track in the middle of an album and then have the next track on the album play. If they wanted to play the whole album they would expect to click play (or enter) on the album level or select a "play all" option. To make matters slightly more confusing if someone clicks play on a track and then goes to another one and clicks add to playlist it will carry on playing the original album. When you look at current playlist you see what you selected but not what is playing.... This is also confusing as if you have clicked on something and pressed play you have no idea what you have clicked on other than what track is playing now and what track is playing next. You have no idea if it was an album that was clicked on, a genre or your whole collection I think MP should implement a default now playing playlist. If you press play on a track and there is no playlist then it should create one. The only issue this leaves if if you do want to clear the current playlist then you have to do something. A good solution to this is to have the play button replace the current playlist with what you have selected and enter (ok on MCE remote) to add items to the current playlist. This also partly removes the confusion about now playing and current playlist screens as they would basically be the same thing. You could have a view which is what you see in Now Playing with just the one track and playing next details and your standard list view which would have all the items in ??? Meedio implemented a playlist / play mode toggle where in one mode selecting an item would add it to the playlist and t'other would replace playlist. Also great thing that Meedio did was flagged each item you added to the currrent playlist with a big dot. When browsing through you collection you could see which tracks had already been added to the current playlist. You could also deselect them by clicking enter on them and this would remove the dot and remote the item from the playlist. [/QUOTE]
