Whether you're aware of it or not, you're ALWAYS using a playlist when you play a song with Rockbox. Rockbox's playback is entirely playlist based.

In my opinion, the playlist options for insert and queuing are already overcomplicated, and I personally wouldn't welcome yet another option here.

Obviously I wasn't : to be honest I haven't even tried it yet but will give it a try as soon as I get my hand on a cheap SD card or as soon as the D2 gets the "stable port" status. ;D
Having had second (& third & more) thoughts about this post I am already assuming that the "Queue next" option does already most of the job. It does actually more since it keeps (may be wrong) all the files which would have been "queued next" before the last one and until they are played which is a useful add-on plus it can easily be cancelled by deleting the whole current playlist if you mimic a "play with no playlist", you'd start with a new empty one, or by fiddling with the "save the playlist"/"load it back" feature before starting to "queue next" file(S).
I bet you'll find this OVERovercomplicated and guess what ? I agree but there's only a single way to skin a cat : you've gotta catch it first !!
Thanks for "wasting" your time replying to my "inaccurate" post, I'll try to make the next one better.
Best regards
and Merry Xmas to all the rockbox developpers, users, funders and so on...
