Sounds like a great solution. Works for both the Mk1 and Mk2.

As long as it was context-sensitive (i.e., only when in the playlist menu), it would be perfect. I don't want to lose the info-screen toggle, as I use that one a lot.

This opens up other possibilities for extended button interface stuff. If the press-and-hold funtionality of other buttons was context-sensitive, you could do a lot more with the front-panel buttons.

Although, making the UI any more complex would be a bad thing, of course.

[my 2 cents] I know many users like the 3 button down seq to get all songs. I would hope that this result would become no more difficult than 4-5 down buttons presses. [/my 2 cents]

Have a great weekend everyone!

my immediate reaction is to have it just append when you hold the button down,

Hmmmm... that's funny. MY immediate reaction is just the opposite -- I would always want it to insert rather than append, because when the mood strikes me to re-order my playlist, I want it to happen now, not some indefinite time in the future when my current playlist has finished playing.

As you point out, best option is to bring up the sub-menu so we can choose. Even if the way you would choose is totally incorrect. (juuusst kidding...)

Haha, actually, i agree with you 100%, i'd always rather it insert than append with just one click, but given the options that were given.... it struck me as easier to hold it than go through a menu. =]

Default to menu, but I'd say that having the ultimate behaviour be configurable would be nice. I'd actually want "tap" to be append, and "hold" to be insert.

Fly me to the moon...

We have decided to implement the following functionality in 2.0:

Press & Hold "Playlists" menu option (in main menu) : Open playlist menu at the last accessed position

Press & Hold any music selection within the Playlists menu : Open action menu "Insert, Append, Replace"

Press without hold functionality will not change. Note that this new functionality will work with the front panel buttons and the Rio branded remote control, but not with the Kenwood remote.

Press & Hold any music selection within the Playlists menu : Open action menu "Insert, Append, Replace"

IWBNI this menu always opened with the current search-window insert mode selected...

wounds good to me, especially being able to pop back to the last menu position.
