FYI, I am planning a larger post on this stuff in the next few days.

a couple of quick thoughts on Phil's comments:

* I agree with you, disabled should be the default. And as of last
Thursday and change 23928, that is the case.

* the strange behavior you describe with the add button after entering
playlist or party mode is not at all the intended behavior. Sounds like
a bug. FWIW, I have not seen that behavior on my own system. Playlist
mode and party mode change the behavior of the play button, not the add
button.

There is a huge range of opinion on the way people think these "modes"
should work. The most important thing, IMO, is being able to put your
player in a state where the play button is not destructive to your
current playlist. I've never believed that part of our UI was done
correctly, and this is a way to get around that.

However, people are used to the way things are done, therefore default
= disabled.

Phil, the answer to almost all of your questions in your original post
is "no, it doesn't cover that right now". Party mode is not fool-proof,
but it covers the most basic problem of handing your controller or
remote to someone at a party--hitting the play button destroying your
playlist.
