Hi,

How can you select all artists or titles starting by XYZ with the remote control and let them play as a "dynamic" playlist ?
Is seems only possible to select one artist or one title or one album at a time with the remote control !

I was thinking about to add modes like : append all, replace all, insert all that could be added to the existing append, insert, replace.
Those new modes would take all the artists or titles or sources etc... selected by a XYZ string entered with the remote control.
What da ya think about it ?

When searching it would just be more useful to not exit the search list as you add tracks. Then you could queue up search results. As it stands, I never use search because it's so geared toward single items.

Of course, the popular reply to something like this (again) is that hopefully with soup views on the player we'll have some more functionality that can approach some of these requests. For instance, being able to drill down through tracks when browsing genre, instead of only being able to select playing the entire genre when using search.
