As a test I was playing track number 7 or 8 of a 17 track link within a 195 track playlist.  I "Right clicked" on my current playing zone and selected "Reshuffle".

It reshuffled the songs in the list and maintained the order of the linked tracks.  But it jumped to a totally different playing track.  I believe normal playing behaviour before is to continue playing the current track but put it at the top of the list?

Not a biggy just an observation.

This feature really needs some visual help.

1. You can only see which song was the primary link, with an MCWS database number that means nothing to any other field in the viewable database.  And to see that much you must add another field to display in otherwise limited display real estate.

2. You can't see any other song's link status (songs the primary is linked to).

3. You can only break a link on the primary (link numbered) track, even though the Break Link option is selectable on ALL tracks.

Couldn't you at the very least have a single character indicator on every track (or color highlight) that is linked whether a primary or a target so it can be quickly seen and evaluated in a meaningful way?

My apologies in advance if there's more coming for this.  It seems rather thrown together and not completely thought out in its present form.
