Please Fix the clear playlist behavior in 4.0

The old playlist behavior was to add a track just after the current playing track. It seems a conscious choice as it is quite observable and I cannot imagine no one from the beta testers would have remarked about it. I use my playlist as memory and now it I have to make quite an effort to use add next or add last and * as soon as I forget * I loose my complete playlist. No undo nothing. This is to me unacceptable! Up until now no update broke the way I could operate my BlueSound Nodes. I see several possibilities to alleviate or fix this. 1) revert back to the old behavior 2) make an extra setting that makes the old behaviour possible 3) Give the possibility to revert back to 3.x Seeing all other issues with 4.0, I would always give option 3 to customers. Makes support more difficult but I now suddenly have frustrating device instead of easy to use. You had a sterling reputation in my book but that is now gone. I will probably not be the only one.

  HI Tabcam

  The functionality you request is still there using the context menus to add songs to the queue and has been there since the release of BluOS 2.0; https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360000204487

  We did miss that you can not add playlists to the existing queue but will be adding that in the near future as admittedly we got that wrong. Look for that in a near future release but I don't have an exact time frame on that yet.

  No, you are wrong @Tony W. I could always add tracks that way but now my whole playlist gets cleared if I forget 'to do it the right way' and no method to get it back! Also, I am not that interested in adding playlists as that can be done already using the 'auto fill' option. The current way is for me a dealbreaker so will sell my stuff second hand as you clearly have given me a different device with 4.0.

  Also, I could always add a next song to an existing playlist if I added it prior to the last song and it did not stops the auto fill at the end of the list. It now stops the auto fill, wherever I add it next to. The new interface also 'forgets' where I navigated to so every time I have to remember which playlist I was playing from.

  I agree, the new way playlists work with 4.0 is far from ideal.

  I noticed the add next doesn't work with autofill as previously. You could add next and still continue with the current autofill.

  I was making a new playlist and had worked on that for well over an hour when by accident I clicked on a song directly instead of via the "add to". As a result all my work has been erased, the list emptied itself. Nice.

  Could we please have some way of avoiding this. This is a result of the firmware update as this never happened before.
