i), press joystick in for wps context menu
ii), select 'playlist catalog' > 'view' menu, navigate to a catalog to view its contents.
when you 'select' the catalog to'view' it immediately starts to play the contents of that catalog, shouldn't this be more like a browser feature, i.e. one can browse the contents of the various catalogs without it automatically playing the contents ?.

The "view" option is to list the playlists in the catalog in the same way as browsing the directory tree. To view the contents of a particular playlist, press the context button on the selected playlist and go to Playlist->View.

I see, so the wps context menu > playlist catalog > view is not supposed to show you the contents of the playlist ?.
I would have thought that one could view the contents of the file that way as well, or do I have the cat by the tail?.

To view the contents of a playlist in the catalog from the WPS:
wps context menu > playlist catalog > view > context > playlist > view

! !
Hardeep, I dont get it, surely the first view should allow one to view the contents of the catalog playlist instead of starting play on that playlist, it's a bit unintuitive having to press for a context menu again to get to another view menu to view/browse the files. I would never have guessed that one has to cycle through another context menu to get to another view menu.
sorry but I don't get the design philosophy on this one.
just my .000002c worth :)
P.S.
ah i get it now,
wps context > playlist catalog > view <== the terminology is what threw me here, its "view" as in "select to play"
is it possible to come up with a better label for this "view", perhaps "choose" or "select to play", or "pick n play"
or maybe I should just shut up... ;-)

Maybe "List" or "View Catalog"? :-\

I think 'view catalog' or "List" are both better than my feeble attempts, either is more descriptive of it's function.
The dynamic playlist has "view current playlist" which allows one to browse through the tracks in the dynamic playlist, this menu is well described, this is why I was thrown by the view for the catalog playlists, I expected it to do the same.
