Well, SqueezePad is already doing that, right? I mean: asking what to
do in a popup.

Indeed, I don't want that, at least as a default, because I find it too
annoying and I want it to be fast.
The question is: would it make sense to have that kind of a "soft"
party mode? After all, Party Mode even now has a few more configuration
options about the behavior.
Hence my question: I want to understand what people are looking for.

The people I asked before doing the current party mode were pretty much
all after a "bulletproof" solution - after all, showing a popup is fine
against accidentally hitting something but doesn't help the least
against gusts who either don't know what they do or don't care...

I believe the "play next" solution you suggested has a few more
implications that may be problematic:
1. It changes the default behavior on the server from playing whole
albums to playing single tracks - except for these "Apps" where
Logitech will always also add a whole album if you use the "add"
commands (a horribly inconsistent implementation). This is probably
what you want at a party (playing single tracks).
2. As mentioned above it's hard to get consistent.
3. What do you do for items for which there is no "Play Next" (probably
also only an issue for "Apps" and some plugins)?
