Hi, Jim! Happy new year.
Mine doesn't. I have the latest Gizmo and the new MC 19, and when I go to the Playing Now screen in Gizmo, I see the cover of the track that MC is stopped on, but not the name or a button to open the Playing Now list in Gizmo. Under the cover it says "Gizmo" on one line, then "You're on the bus" and below that there is a button with "Resume playback" on it. Only when I press that I see the name of the playing track and the button, which is what I would like to see without starting playback first. Come to think of it I would like to see all the transport buttons, just like when playing, instead of a rather unhelpful message telling me I'm on the bus. If I can see the track name and other info I think it would be rather self-evident that I'm on something! Just like a lot of people in Colorado are now...legally!
Another thing that can be very annoying, at least to me, is that a short press on a track in an album logically should have added that track to Playing now (or at least play that track), but that it does is to play that full album, starting on the file you click. That can be rather annoying, especially when it's a Podcast series with 500 short podcasts or when I have spent ten minutes adding tracks to a Playing now by clicking and holdning on separate tracks from a bunch of albums and then touches a single track by accident...
For me it should work like double clicking in MC, so I can choose to set up either Gizmo or MC to take a short click on a file in Gizmo as "add to playing now" or "play", and with that track only. Would that possible?
