Thanks a lot for sharing this. It just started using the multi library
plugin and was confused that whenever I selected a song from an album
via the menu in a specific library, it played all songs in the album
even though the player setting was "Play only selected song". So the
first thing I had to figure out was that when I was browsing specific
libraries, I was actually using a custom browse menu. So it dawned on me
that custom browse may not be respecting the per player setting. But how
to change it. It did not occur to me that this would be a per menu-item
setting so I was glad to eventually find this thread which brought me on
the right track.

But does it make sense to have "Play only selected song" vs "Play other
songs in album of directory" as a per menu option rather than as a
universal option? Although it is feasible, I found it rather labourious
having to go into each individual menu and changing the setting. I
suppose that there is some technical limitation why the Custom Browse
plugin doesn't simply respect the generic setting for each player. But I
think the current solution is not good. I *would like to suggest* to
@erland (no way to do mentions in this forum?) to add this option to the
Custom Browse Settings menu.

Another thing I would like to mention is the following *inconsistent
behaviour* of the Custom Browse plugin: Once I have manually disabled
the "Play all songs in selected album" in the first level custom browse
menus, this setting was automatically applied to the corresponding menus
of one of my three libraries but not to the other two. I think it should
be either be applied to all library menus (preferable) or to none at
all.

Finally, there also seem to be some* inconsistencies* in how albums are
displayed across the different menus. For example, in my classical music
library, in the album menu, the album artist is displayed even though
the setting "show artist with album" is off but in the New Albums menu,
the artist is not displayed but instead the year is (and I have no idea
how I might turn that off) and when I activate "show artist with album,
the artist is displayed in a smaller font on the left, i.e. in a
different way than in the Albums menu.
