I experience some strange behaviour regarding MyPlaylist which is about usability:
When i add a track/folder to the current playlist the click flow is like that:
Access context menu -> add item to playlist -> the current playlist is displayed - back - the last folder is displayed but the last position of the track previously added is not saved; that means: when i browse a directory with 50 songs I always have to manually go down select the track to be added to the playlist, navigate back from the current playlist to the directory and have to navigate down to the last track i previously added.... this is extremely user-unfriendly from my point of view.

Porposal:
Access context menu -> add item to playlist -> return to prevoius location and position (in other words do nothing) / automatically get back to folder/track which was added to playlist

I think this is way more simple easy and fast... can you think about it or am I missing something here e.g. is there a smarter way of handling playlists as described above?
