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

It just seems like so much discussion on this list is being spent on
how to use something other than mythtv for music rather than coming up
with a clear and concise list of tweaks needed.

Something like:

  1.  There should be a top level menu entry called Path which can
browse music by filesystem path.
  2.  There should be a single key press to get to the tree view, with
a default binding of "3"
  3.  "All Tracks" should be a selectable object to add all tracks to
the playlist
  4.  Any list longer than ~100 entries should automatically subdivide
into sublists

Anything else?

Eric
