</div>I guess I honestly don't understand the distinction. MythMusic .24<br>
and earlier also always had a "current playlist". Selecting something<br>
from the music tree would add that to the current play list, just like<br>
add tracks does in .25.<br>

</div>It just seems like so much discussion on this list is being spent on<br>
how to use something other than mythtv for music rather than coming up<br>
with a clear and concise list of tweaks needed.<br>
<br>
Something like:<br>
<br>
1. There should be a top level menu entry called Path which can<br>
browse music by filesystem path.<br>
2. There should be a single key press to get to the tree view, with<br>
a default binding of "3"<br>
3. "All Tracks" should be a selectable object to add all tracks to<br>
the playlist<br>
4. Any list longer than ~100 entries should automatically subdivide<br>
into sublists<br>
<br>
Anything else?<br>

Here is my feedback from my first attempt to use it. When I first went into MythMusic it was disorienting. First thing I tried was to just press play. Nothing happened. Ok, I need to go somewhere and select something. With the navigation buttons I was not able to go anywhere. And so I quit. I would not be surprised if this is what most people do, especially at a WAF level. Personally, I don't want to have to memorize keys to a vi editor level to play music. Now contrast that with MythVideo. You open the tool and it provides a list of folders. You navigate through the folders and video entries and press play. The video starts playing. <br>
