>I feel that a simple prompt at any point where the playlist could >potentially be wiped/altered would be a better approach. > I guess that could be added as another playlist mode (i.e. don't prompt in disabled/off/playlist/party mode, only when mode is "confirmations"). If they get rid of the hotkeys that are configured to only swap between mode=off and mode=playlist, it would make more sense - the user would go to playlist setting, and pick the mode they are most comfortable with using. Another solution would be to also keep a history of previous now playing playlists. Each time play is pressed that clears the current playlist with a different content, the previous content could be stored. If someone makes a mistake and loses a playlist, they could go somewhere like Browse Playlists -> Playlist Backups, and could play/add from that. Perhaps store the date/time as the playlist name, and keep/list the last 5 historic playlists. I'd find that a lot more useful, not only for accidental playlist deletion (which I never accidentally do), but as a temporary buffer for when I want to play a radio station or something else, and then go back to what I was previously playing. It would avoid the need to use "Save Playlist" and enter a temporary playlist name. >If you could also prompt before deleting songs when pressing add in the >NP list, that would be good too.
