I agree.

Actually, play.hold at the moment invokes the Save Playlist plugin by default 
when in Now Playing screen.
However, I think play.hold should always bring up the list of available mixers 
and/or a context menu of options.  eg. by default:

1. Clear Playlist
2. Save Playlist
3. MusicIP Mixer

That reduces the number of overloaded keys, and extra plugins can add to the 
list of available options without overloading/replacing standard keys.

Some of these options could be disabled in playlist or party mode.

There has to be a playlist mode, because not everyone wants playlist/party 
mode.  eg. I always want play when browsing my library to clear the playlist 
and play the new selection, like any other media player on the market.

Agreed.  No hotkeys required.
