It sounds like we're in another "Flexibility" vs "Convenience" situation. =/

Yeah I know, but often I decide when the one I'm listening to has finished. As I've said before it's not a huge deal, just one of those things that I would prefer to be another way.
After all to get from anywhere in the file tree to the menu is one click of a button, but to get from the menu to somewhere in the middle of the filetree takes much longer. Consequently, if end of plaback returned you to the file tree and the song that has just finished if I wanted to go somewhere completely different it is only one click to be the same as the current system and get to the main menu, but would be more convenient if I wanted to select an artist or album close in name to the one I was on.
Llorean:
If you're already IN the filetree when playback ends, if you tap the one click to go to the menu, and then choose Filetree, you should return to the same spot you were in the filetree. The filetree is supposed to remember your position, so your statement doesn't work as you thought it did.
AlexP:
OK, we both seem to be right. What you say is true if you don't shut down half way through and then resume. Position in file tree doesn't seem to be remembered across restarts.
Llorean:
Yes, it's not remembered across restarts.
I do think that if you have "Follow Playlist" on, when the playlist ends the WPS should drop you in the filetree no matter where you called the WPS from though. Follow Playlist seems like it should be an override to that behaviour, I just don't think it needs to affect the file browser entry in the Main Menu at all.
I think that'd solve most of your problems with it anyway. :)

I completely agree! :)
Is it technically possible to remember position across restarts? I would have thought so - another setting in nvram.bin? If so, I'll pop a feature request up as that would solve virtually all my annoyances.
