That's more or less what happens automatically in iPeng.
iPeng doesn't have the same TTP as SP. For Albums/Playlists it has
three modes (Play, Add, Add Next) that define the single-tap behavior.
If Play is dropped from the list you are left with Add and Add Next.
For all other iTems iPeng presents a context menu from which you can -
amon other stuff - select Play, Add or Add Next. Again, if you drop
"Play"...

You are right, I could probably take off the whole menu. Probably won't
help for Dynamic Playlists, and SugarCube, though. It will never be
perfect.

Uh? Why's that? Tell my GF she's not allowed to use Napster at a party.
No way :)

Now _that_ makes sense, will have to see whether I find a reasonable

...and harder to do :)
Actually I'd prefer to have a party mode at all before defining a
3-page set of requirements that finally makes me not implement it
because it would take too long.
