The problem about this - at least on the client side - is that you first

At least in the Pandora case iPeng won't because that's actually an add

It might be the same for some unsuspiciously looking menu

I'll add a couple more nice-to-haves:

- Disable fast forward/reverse, skip, and repeat ( and ).
- Remove played tracks from the current playlist.
- Don't permit adding the same track
