I haven’t used playlists much but have set a few up this week.
What’s interesting is when you press play midway through a playlist, the pawmasher says ‘starting at track X’ and then plays from there - pretty much what I think makes sense to a lot of us old CD users. But not when you press play half way through an album?
I got really confused, but only because in Roon I’ve become accustomed to things stopping after the first track so I expected only one track from the playlist to play!
If that’s not how it’s always worked, maybe it’s a sign of change to come…
In summary, the designed behaviour is:
In Album view, a short tap selects one track and goes to PawMasher
In Playlist view, a short tap selects “Tracks from here” and goes to the PawMasher.
A long press allows the non- default option. Confusing, but I can live with it.
I do not think it is a sign of a change of heart by the developers.
