Seb, just to get your idea: When do you want to use the play/add keys? On the previously created Mix:-playlist (presshold the play key on the remote, Create MusicIP Mix on the controller or the M-Icon in the webinterface) or somewhere before? It is my understanding we have two different issues

Well, it's a bit complicated, since there are several ways to create a MiP mix already : - Click the MM icon in the web UI (applies to track/album/artist/genre) - Press and hold the Play button (applies to track/album/artist/genre) - Select Create a MusicIP mix option (only applies to track)

I may well be missing something but it seems to me that when I use a player UI to create a MusicIP mix from a track then it should by default add the new playlist after the currently playing track and play it. Currently after I've created a mix I have to then select to play the mix which

Hi, I basically use two ways to create MIP mixes: 1.) I'm listening to a track and want more of this = create MIP mix 2.) I'm either browsing the current playlist or generally surfing through my library when i find a track/album i want to hear/use as starting point = create a MIP mix In the
