Good.

Sorry, that was quite unclear. Let me rephrase ; The thing you want to
achieve is to modify the playlist. The way to do that is adding music
you find via the menus. In landscape mode you have both in view at the
same time. All the time: when pondering what to add, when you want to
check it's been done.
To achieve the same in portrait mode you have to flip pages.
Anyway I should take a look at Party on iPhone : I always carry my
phone. My iPad almost never leaves home.

OK

:D Then can you tell me the purpose of the popup ?

Then I will leave you the complexity with pleasure. But let me ask you
this: you seem to present iPeng (full) as a proxy for Party when you
say "there is no need to disclose your server password". Now if this is
true, why not leave iPeng add one song at a time to an almost empty
server queue, while at the same time it handles the
add/delete/promote/demote requests of an internal queue accessed by the
Party apps. 
Is that clear ? 1 short SBS queue, 1 long iPeng queue. The top of the
iPeng one feeds to the bottom of the SBS one. Party shows both as a
single playlist. It might not be simple, but I guess you'd be free of
SBS constraints.

Ok.

Let's say I come to someone's home. Or even to a public place like a
bar, and they have SBS+iPeng.
What on earth do I care knowing which part of the library was recently
added ? I just need to see the available music now. (BTW, maybe even
not see "albums", but "songs".)
And if I choose to add music, I could be interested in picking from
*my* favs. But obviously I can't carry them with me. I have nothing to
do with the host's favs/playlists. Probably he's perusing them in the
queue anyway.
For me, in Extras I have … ServerPowerControl. Not good, mate ;)
(Now I understand perfectly what you say, if I see myself throwing a
party at *my place*. But in this case, I'd use iPeng (full), not the
Party app.)
