I'll certainly test anything along those lines that you come up with. The
current setup has an almost zero WAF due to having to remember to press
'3' to get into the playlist editor and the 'all music' selection is a
left-up-right key sequence to even get to the top of the tree. The tree
could do with expanding as well into say 2 letters per line or maybe based
on the number of albums/tracks in each 'pigeon hole'?
