Paul, it's the same "glitch" that has been brought up since the 
beginning of the "revamp" with 0.25.  There is no intuitive or even 
remotely straight forward way to find a track and play it.  From ANY 
view other than the "current playlist", if you navigate beyond a 
"container" (i.e. Artist, Album) to the track level, there is no option 
to "add and play" (perhaps this is a theme issue?  though I have yet to 
find it available with any theme) and "Player Options -> Play" plays 
the currently selected item in the "current playlist".....which, 
depending on your theme, you can't see.  However, if you select the 
track, it gets added to the bottom of the "current playlist" and then 
"Player Options -> Next Track" MAY play it if it's the next item in the 
"current playlist"....which again, depending on your theme, you can't 
see.

At the very minimum, there needs to be an option at the TRACK level to 
"Add and play", which is only available from the "Search For Music 
View" and (at least for me) crashes MythFrontend.

The fact that there is no real, simple way to find a track via simple 
navigation isn't news, it has been brought up a million times.  You 
just keep telling all of us "works fine for me" and we're crazy.
