This is how Insert, Insert Next, and Insert last function

(1/5) > >>

dunno:
If you originally created a playlist using Insert, has tracks 1 2 3 and is now playing 2,

you then add additional tracks using the following method
Insert A ->        1 2 3 A    
Insert Next B ->1 2 B 3 A
Insert C ->        1 2 B 3 A C
Insert last D ->  1 2 B 3 A C D
Insert E ->         1 2 B 3 A C E D

just a trivial post to try and illustrate playlist menu functions..

The Insert C step should result in 12BC3A. "Insert" should always go immedialy after the most recently inserted song, when things are working right, while Insert Next should go immediatly after the currently playing song.

Actually, this is not correct.  We only remember the position where the last track was added using "Insert", not "Insert Next" or "Insert Last".  The idea behind this is that "Insert Next" is really a special case where the user wants to hear a track immediately.  It doesn't necessarily mean that they want all future inserted tracks to be played immediately as well.  Of course, this is relatively easy to change if users prefer the method you describe.

Hm, I swear it used to work that way.

So, if I were on song 2 of 1 2 3 4, and I wanted to create 1 2 A B 3 4, I would have to "Insert Next" B, then A? That is my only option for creating that playlist unless I removed 3 and 4 first? It seems limited now... At least in my mind it's counterintuitive to force a user to insert in inverse order.
