Details of options when selecting option settings
Pileot:
i have no idea what menus im getting... at this point its random button pressing and seeing what happens...
I started rockbox, used the database to find an artist i wanted to play... selected a song. it started playing.
While it was playing i pressed long select and got a context menu, which i noted had delete, which is awesome, one answer there.
Tried selecting playlist, got the same playlist menu as everywhere else.
tried pausing playback and doing it again, no change.
RB version r16179m-080127
ipod video 30 gig 5.5g

Go to the same place but instead of doing a short press of the Select button to start playing a song, do a long press. That will give you the file context menu. From that point, you can select "Playlist" and then choose from various options for inserting or queuing your selected song into the current dynamic playlist.
If you do the same thing from the file browser instead of from the database, you will have additional options including "Playlist Catalog," which allows you to insert the selected song to a playlist other than the dynamic playlist.

Does this context menu give you the "Playlist Catalog" option? That would be another way of adding the currently playing song to a playlist.
Pileot:
Oooooooooooooooohhhhh!!!!
That makes soo much more sense! When you go to play the file instead of selecting the song to play, hold select and add it to the playlist.... duh...
lol that is soo much easier to figure out... the manual makes it sound confusing...
Yes i get a playlist catelog the way i was doing it before (long select from the WPS screen) but i couldnt figure out how to use it...

Could you help us out here then and suggest a change to the manual which makes it less confusing?

If you're talking about the MPEG player plugin, it's linked to from both the "extras" and "index" pages on the left side panel of every page on the website.

Try poking your nose in the User Interface section of the documentation index in the wiki. ("index" on the left panel), I've gathered everything that might be of interest to average users on that page. The rest is in the manual, which I agree is hard to understand, but if you try to rewrite it yourself you'll see how difficult it can be to explain complex ideas in simple terms, trust me.
