but I don't understand quite how to use the insert/replace/append/enqueue.

How could I re-word the FAQ to make it more clear? What part of this FAQ entry and this FAQ entry was giving you trouble?


Can I use my remote for these functions?

Both the remote and the front panel can be used when selecting from the playlists menu as described in this FAQ entry. You have to have the remote to operate the search screen and select its insertion modes this FAQ entry, though.

And how does the search feature relate to these?

You can use these four insertion modes with both playlist-menu selections and with search result selections. They behave the same way in both cases.

I get something that says Info: Search Tool

No, it says "Info: SEEK tool", not search tool. It's a way of using the rotary knob to fast-forward through a song file. It is not related to the searching features. I have not documented it in the FAQ yet because it keeps going through revisions in the beta, I'm waiting for it to settle down a bit. Read the release notes for beta 11 and beta 13 to get an idea of how it works.
