I don't think necessarily that this is the 'obvious' behavior.  To me, it 
is obvious for 'play now' to insert at top of 'now playing' and switch to 
this song now, but not to necessarily delete everything I have created 
there.

Since I am clearly in the minority here I won't push the point, but I just 
wanted to point it out.  In fact, Colin mentioned that this behavior 
(entire 'now playing' queue cleared automatically) would be surprising.

But I can see both cases actually.

Cool. Thanks.
