Why does playlist insert replace the current playlist when stopped?
Llorean:
The iPod gets "Long press of Play" back, though. But other players have a button physically labelled "Stop", but we're negating any real difference between "Pause" and "Stop" (though there isn't any need for there to be a difference, if users don't want 'stop' to act like there's no longer an active song and playlist).

I believe the main issue here is the automatic start of playback on Insert. I want to be able to start creating a playlist without having to play it first.
And no, I can't do it in paused mode. In order to pause the music, I have to start playing it, which I wanted to avoid in the first place.
Llorean:
Well, "What happens when you press stop" and "What happens when you choose to insert" are two different concerns anyway.
But for you, there'd need to be some way to load a playlist up (to then proceeed to insert into) without first playing that playlist, unless you're talking about inserting into a blank playlist (which simply requires having "Insert" not start playback, at least with the way things currently work).
Right?

Doesn't the Playlist Catalog functionality cover this requirement?
pondlife:
I'd be happy to merge the STOP and PAUSE states. What are the current differences (from a user perspective)?
- PLAY->PAUSE, the WPS remains displayed, PLAY->STOP returns to the browser (or previous screen?)
- In PAUSE, selecting a file queues that file (and returns to the WPS) but doesn't resume playback. In STOP, playback is started.
- PAUSE prevents voice output (that's a bug), STOP does not
Any more?
