Weren't you the one who modified the menus so that if there was only a single 
column of items (like gant), that it would select the item if you pushed 
right?  So, pushing right acted as if you hit select.  The program finder 
works (or worked) the same way -- pushing right from the rightmost of the 3 
columns acted as if you were hitting select.

Basically, there's precedence in the UI for having the right arrow from a list 
act as select, not menu or some other action.  Having the playback selection 
screen act differently doesn't make any sense.
