The mouse works in most spots, but you are better served by using the
arrow keys for navigation. To get to the playlist, hit the right arrow
from the NP screen. Also the ] key will jump directly there (if you
favor the fps approach).

this is probably the link you want as a reference...

To answer your question about the point-and-click type of interface,
the end goal is something that can give a nice user experience from the
desktop. However, we are pretty much laser-beamed focused on new
hardware releases right now. I'm not going to make any promises on
desktop software right now, because I really doubt it's going to be made
a priority any time soon.

I find the desktop software right now to be a) and excellent
development platform and b) a really nice way to get a feel for the
software UI before buying. It's not a polished product for general
consumption. The effort hasn't been afforded to it.

cheers,
