1. As for 'maybe this is strange behaviour' maybe I
need to re-train myself. 

No, I think that is pretty common behaviour.  Maybe
I'd queue a few albums up, starting with Rage Against
The Machine, then someone comes in who hates Rage, so
I'd add a handful of tracks or an album he likes, then
when he's gone I'd skip on to where I was in the
playlist.

2.  For some definitions of "large mp3 collections"
this works.  However, I'd be terrified to scroll
through my artist listing without any breakdown on
letters.  

Indeed, If I filter it to display just my "Rock,
Alternative" section I get 273 Artists. Therefore:

- Page Down is crucial
- ability to skip to a letter using the 1-9 keys is
crucial, and
- genre/era (and other category) filters are essential


For me personally, I think this would suffice without
having the tree break down by letters.  I say this
because I find a letter by letter breakdown is no good
for browsing as you easily miss bands that get
consumed by large collections.  It is good for finding
a specific artist, but then if you can use 1-9 as the
keyboard search then thats even quicker methinks.

However, I guess that there are many preferences to
accomodate for.  I think we should try to implement as
many as possible as long as they don't conflict or
cause confusion.
