I think that in [context menu > send to > Play (Zone 1) > ***] there should be an option to add to end of the current playlist, in addition to the multitude of options that's there already (it's actually sort of strange.. add to beginning is there, why not add to end?).
Also, there should be a keyboard shortcut for it, i.e. ctrl + click on a track automatically adds it to the end of current playing now (and eg alt + click adds it as the next to be played). It would definitely be handy when queuing tracks or albums (currently I drag them with the mouse, which works well enough, but at times I'd really appreciate just double-clicking (and holding the appropriate key, of course).

I think this could be because the command "Add" in this list just adds the selected song(s) to the end of the playlist :P

indeed, rightclick using add does this. when you want to do that to different zones it might be handy to raise the 'right click recent command count' (options>tree & View>advanced).
an other option is to change the double click behaviour to 'add to playing now (to end)' (options>general>behaviour>double click) and use the play under the thumb or under rightclick for imediate playback.

Heh what do you know ;)... I considered them all out except the ordinary one - how very stupid of me!
Still, I believe s keyboard shortcut access would be nice - but as you say, there are other ways (but as for standard double click, I prefar that to replace the playing now).
Many thanks for enlightening me to the option to add more recent commands into the context menu. Very good.

I use the following General > Behavior options:
Double-click: Add to Playing Now (to end)
Jump on Play: None
Play Button: Play Playing Now
Usually I have a playlist playing when I browse for other files. I can add new files simply by double-clicking or by pressing enter in a library view.
For actually replacing the Playing Now list with the selection I need to use Right-click > Play, but that's not a problem for me.
Normally I want to continue browsing the library just where I happen to be, so I keep the Jump on Play option disabled.

:D You can believe me: I know how you feel ;)

OK, I'm going to try out that setup for a while. Sounds promising, if I can just get used to the change. Thanks for the reply.

I changed back ;) At least the double-click behaviour: it suits the way I chose music. I usually chose one album at the same, by double clicking the album name in the pane... and most of the time I won't add anything else until the album is over, at which point I start something else - and having the playlist automatically cleared is nice then. For the times when I do construct playlists, it'd be swell if I could alter the double-click behavious to add to end with a key. It could be an option in behaviour options, "secondary double-click behaviour" (when holding ctrl) so that people could set up a combo of primary and secondary behaviours in the way that suits them the most.

actually i think it is a great idea. i thought it would be nice if it could be something you could change in the recourse.xml, where the keyboard is defined. like ctrl:(click), but there is no mcc command i could find to add something to playing now and click is not there also. just a thought.

Has something like this been implemented? This still annoys me...

That's an important option to set when listening & browsing at the same time.
If you are in a another view and have to pause playback, when you resume it continues where you left off.
However if the option is set to 'play visble files', MC will replace everything that is in PN and add everything thats in the viewscheme you happen to be in, to PN.
Not saying its a bug, both options have their uses, just think its useful to know :)
