1. If I Stack multiple songs from different albums (24 / 96, 24 / 192, DSD, MLP 5.1 for instance) is there an easy way to select a particular album version to add to a playlist? Or do I have to expand all songs in order to select the album to play?
You would need to expand the stacks first. Though, in my quick tests using image files, If you expand the stack, pop the stack files you want into your playlist, then collapse the stack, the files seem to play OK from the playlist without expanding the stack.
2. Is there a way to automatically get MC to play a particular version in a particular circumstance? For instance if playing direct to receiver play the MLP 5.1 version. If playing to DLNA or JRemote Play the Standard Stereo version? etc...
I think you would need to use zone switch for that. Again, the stack would need to be expanded beforehand

Anyone interested in a view for managing stacks?Enjoy
