Yes. Well, it's NOT thought to be a NowPlaying display for parties,
although it's a nice idea and I might add something like that later,
after all it's another building block I do already have.
The idea is to allow you to add tracks to the end of the current
playlist from the whole library and do see this playlist.

I don't understand. You mean, no permanent one? You can get it by
tapping the penguin from anywhere (except from "help").

OK, Idea taken: start playback whenever nothing is playing.
Auo-add: there are already enough plugins for that....

May I ask you to file tickets? There's an "iPeng Party" target in iPeng
trac

OK

Ummm... This is no "cancel song". The "x" just removes the popup, just
as with the other two iPeng Apps....

Yep, that's what I would do if I add that feature.
I also kind of like it.
The problem is: if you are not playing Spotify it can actually be very
hard for iPeng Party to find out which track it added itself, and even
then it could fail if a track is in the list more than once.
It's not like you could get any information from the server like "these
are the tracks you've added". It's really that hard.

Yes, another one I did already think about. Actually not to this extend
(another good idea... ticket?) but I thought about showing only a part
of the playlist but then shied away because it's so much work....

Why on earth do you find "favs" and "New Music" distracting??? Actually
that's the two menu items I use most on my parties.
"Extras" is needed if you want to access the browser so you can get
stuff from the internet, a game I always like to play at parties :)
