Mmmhhhhmmmhhhh this is the righ way. 

If I'm playing from current layout library (shuffle disabled), select
next song isn't a good feature. Next song is the next in list following
ordering criteria. 

IMHO "next play" isn't a good feature: when I want to play a song I
search it and play it. But if we want add a "next play" feature, or
whatever, lib isn't the right place. 

Adding a "next play" feature need a "current playlist" view, IMO, and
this need to rethinking all interface, putting in main window only
"current playlist" and a way to load song in it from music sources (HD
[=lib or saved groups], CD, Internet Radios...), as in .glade file in my
other mail.... but now I find it less intuitive and simple then actual
interface :-)

Boh?!? Any feedback from usability@gnome.org?
