These two I know about, haven't gotten around to fixing.

This feature hasn't been implemented at all yet. I am starting to work
on general Drag and Drop support as you may have seen. Row reordering is
next on my list, followed column reordering.

> 4) Opening a context menu on multiple tracks does not work (seems to be broken in every source in banshee trunk at the moment).

This is know, I broke it when I made my first pass at row DnD.

> 5) Example: Add the first three tracks of an album to the queue. Switch to the queue and start playing the SECOND. After playback is finished, the FIRST track starts playing and is removed from the queue right away (see 1.), while the second is still in and will play again as the next track. 
> The general question is: should the user be able to play tracks from the middle of the queue? I think banshee should move a manually clicked song to the top of the queue. If this is not the case, another question arises: which track to play next? The one after the current, or the first in the queue? 

Not sure about this. I will try some more experiments and report back
with my feelings about what to do. Maybe moving the track to the top
makes sense.

> 6) If you add one song to the queue, start playing it and then clear the queue, all songs (including the playing one) will be removed. The playing song will be keep playing, though. IMHO either this song should still be visible (preferred) or playback should stop.

I'm not sure about this one either. I think the current behavior is
acceptable and doesn't seem strange to me.

> Anyway, great work on banshee trunk!

Thanks for keeping an eye on things! Look for these issues to be
resolved sooon.

Best,
Aaron
