Playlist: Centre button or Right could Insert instead of Play?

I honestly don't even remember how the iriver firmware works.

I find exactly the opposite.

Which goes to show that this is indeed true:

Thank you Febs, and nls.  I was probably mistaken in looking at the pdf instead of the online version of the manual, between which there is a small discrepancy.  But, you're right; the info is there.

I will direct any follow up to a more appropriate place as suggested.  

Please excuse the digression.  Back to this topic, I like Llorean's suggestion:

--- Quote from: Llorean on January 23, 2007, 01:25:35 PM ---Navi: "Start a new playlist with the selected song" (or in this folder, if start with selected is disabled)
Right: Insert highlighted (Not Insert Next or Insert Last, just generic Insert, this would also do one-song playlists)
Rec-Long: Recording screen
Rec-Short: Queue (again neither Next or Last)

--- End quote ---

but change
Rec-Short: Playlist menu

or append

Right-Long: Playlist menu  

The Right-Long option only saves one short button push, so I'm not as keen on it as using Rec-Short for the job.  It does, however, offer possible unification, albeit only for a small shortcut.

Llorean:
I prefer Right-Long for that, actually, since I'd really like Right-Long to NOT go several folders down and launch (or insert) something.

rossic:
I am running a month old build where Right-Long doesn't enter a folder.  Thus, this feature could be a shortcut to the Playlist menu acting on entire folders as well as single songs.  

Is that consistent with current builds?

Llorean:
Sorry, I misread, I thought you meant "Playlist View" rather than "Playlist Menu"
