....whcih is what I need: feedback on how it's being used :)
The current feature distribution is based around the "bulletproof" idea
(actually removing the "trash playlist" option was usually the first
thing to be asked so far; yet I understand you still want it if you
don't have destructive play anymore). But technically there is no real
reason for it.

Yes, that wouldn't really be a problem except in these weird "App"
cases. That's why I ask...

I'm talking about Music Services. The stuff Logitech calls "Apps".
The issue is that you (err... I) have no control over whether a track
or an album is being added. In some "Apps" and in the local library
it's a track "if you add a track", in some other "Apps" (Rhapsody, for
example) always the full album is being added unless you go through the
context menu.
I might be able to fix this (note to self: should do that anyhow) but
I'm not sure.

Because nobody implemented it.

Yes. But Pandora also does destructive play on "Add" sometimes so it
doesn't really count, it's weird anyway.
I believe Slacker is another example; I've sen it with Rhapsody, too, I
believe in Playlists.

That would make sense if not
a) "Add" was still there
b) You could not build nice playlists with these items to switch
between them using "skip".
