Official explanation
(http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlay_7.4_Release_Notes#Press-to-Play)
is that if something is "playable" and has the ">" on its line (which I
think I've noted looks a lot like the universal Play icon) and you press
Right or Center, it will NOT play.

Generally, ">" seems comparable to the "..." ellipsis in Microsoft
Windows indicating that the control will bring up a submenu or dialogue
box -- in SqueezePlay/Controller, if there's a ">", selecting it
*generally* will bring up another screen. And that's why the "playable"
hint makes sense, right? -- if it's playable and there's no ">", then
there's no additional menu, and selecting could only mean you want to
play the thing, right?

But that's not the case in the context menu. Start at My Music, and
drill down through an artist so you're looking at an album. Tap add so
you get the context menu. Among the choices are "Play" and "Save to
Favorites". Both have the ">" indicator. Select "Save to Favorites" and
you get a confirmation screen -- as I would expect, given the ">"
symbol. But if I select "Play", there's no additional screen. I go
straight to the Now Playing screen.

Not only is the Controller UI in 7.4 not consistent with the
Classic/Boom UI, it's not internally consistent. :-(
