I like the idea of a party plug-in, but am thankful to Kevin (for only about the thirteenth time today) for the remapping remote solution for party mode. Change the play button to "play next", add stays add. Invoke the custom party.map and then remove settings from the SB menu during the party, and this would seem to take care of most of the damage that could be done by the inexperienced remote user.
Sometimes its fun to let other people loose on your music collection at a party, they'll find stuff that you might not have thought to play. I mean, I like everything (almost) in my collection, so why not let guests select what they'd like to hear? I'd like my friends to be more comfortable using the SB, without having to train them extensively, and if I could hand them the remote and tell them to play around with it, without having to worry that they might mess something up, that would be a good thing. In fact, I can see having the SB in party mode all the time, because I don't use the remote UI that much, preferring the browser UI. -- bephillips More than 38,243 songs on 3028 albums by 2130 artists.
