As an enhancement to the Play Album dialog, this seems fine to me. I
guess the question is did you mean to remove the "Play Song" dialog
completely in exchange for this enhanced play album thing? If so, *that*
is what i'm against, removing the ability to quickly add a song, without
going through the add album dialog. If you just meant to enhance the
Play Album thing, then by all means. (:
