Forgive me if my recent discovery has been discussed before, but I
thought I would share. I don't really ever use playlists or play around
with the queue. I'm a choose and play guy...:)

I listen to allot of internet radio, especially in the workshop, and
occasionally a song comes on I don't care for, or I just feel like a
change. I generally navigate through my favorites (which have folder
heirarchy, e.g. blues->blues station A), so there is allot of
menu/folder traversing to select a new station.

With a radio station, Material shows a song with infinite duration in
the queue. I started adding other stations to the queue, stations I
would flip between. It works great with the only caveat (not a big
deal), is the song/artist/artwork only updates for the active item in
the queue. The other caveat is the station ID might not be there.
Example "Wake Up" was on Mother Earth Radio.

The great thing is I can save the queue, which creates a playlist item
which is basically a set of radio presets. So, listen to an album, or
whatever, come back, load the playlist and choose from my radio
stations. Awesome Craig!

PS - I have been able to break Material or LMS doing this, where audio
for the selected station will play, but with artwork from another queue
member showing, but I am trying to recreate the steps required for this
to happen. If I can establish that I'll report back.
