Many thanks for the thoughtful comment, Chow Loong Jin. Although I
disagree with the idea, I am happy to hear that at least some thought
has been given to it. I will consider discussing the matter on the
mailing list, but just for the sake of completeness, I will write a
short reply here as well.

What you call counter-intuitive I consider intuitive and vice versa, so
that is of course something to discuss; I do accept that we are not
talking about a straightforward bug here and that the invalid status is
therefore correct. By the way, I noticed that Apple in their iTunes have
decided on a third option: stop playing tracks altogether if the user
has changed the track view. I did not realize this before, and it has
made me reconsider some aspects of my opinion. Generally, although not
always, Apple gets these things right.

I guess I would be happy with the way Banshee works if it was possible
to program at least the play queue just to keep on advancing while I
browsed the other tracks. (This is what iTunes does as well.) But it
seems that the play queue has several other bugs, one of which I have
already reported and another one that I just noticed and will report as
soon as I understand it. The reason I stopped using the play queue was
because it behaved in an unpredictable way, and I have not even been
able to understand even how it should work, not to mention how it
actually does work. I will take the matter to other forums (and other
bug reports) so that I may find at least one way to use Banshee without
problems.
