I had this in a development version of SqueezePad, but this popup soon
became very annoying. Typically you don't want to go ahead (with the
replacement) but want to add to end/play next. A cancel options just
makes you use more taps.

For this reason, SqueezePad will feature the following solution in its
next version (out in about 2 weeks):

Actually this is also a 'protect playlist' popup, just with the
'cancel' option replaced with the possibilities the user really cares
about.

It's also very easy to implement and maybe SqueezePlay developers
change their mind about such a simple playlist protection as well.

It's by the way not too difficult to find 90% of all 'offending'
playlist replacement tasks (had this first too in a dev version). And
the final 10% would be found by user bug reports which is OK I think. 
There are even easier ways, but I need to keep my intellectual property
here :D
