There should be an alternative "jukebox" mode which basically makes everything read-only (i.e. no modification of playlists, podcasts, radio). This could be in addition to party mode, e.g. several "lockdown" modes. You could have 3 modes: 1. "party mode" as is 2. "jukebox" mode: like 1) but everything is read-only, you can only add things to the play queue, no modifications of playlists, radio stations, podcasts, no ripping of CDs etc, but you can switch sources 3. "total lockdown": like 2) but locked to a single source (e.g. Library or playlist), the only thing you can do is play/pause select different tracks within that source Even further was another suggestion on the same bug, is to allow the different levels to be customized: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323933#c24 you could have pre-configured profiles (as above), but the user could configure exactly what is or is not modifiable.
