Tap plays song and loses current playlist ..SO annoying

jim109b · 19th March 2011, 09:06

Winamp is great, love it but it has (IMO) one REALLY annoying feature - tap a song and plays it, dumping the current playlist at the same time.

Now this might just be the way I like to use Winamp - I have playlists, but I also like to browse while listening and build the current playlist as I go. So I tap and hold, then select enqueue. Which is fine until you get distacted for a second, and tap by mistake.

BAM...playlist gone, replaced by the new song now playing and the rest of the album in the playlist.

Or I'm just browsing around, scrolling through stuff and my finger hesitates too long and does a tap instead of scrolling...current playlist gone again.

This is so annoying. Have I missed something here?

What would make this OK would be toggle between:

- tap song to enqueue and
- tap song to add to current playlist

Otherwise, great

I agree with everything that the OP has said, and I can't believe this is the only post on the issue. I find it far too easy to accidentally touch the screen, especially when walking, and this will delete the playlist that I've been building up.

The desktop version has the option to set Enqueue as the default action and it would be nice if it could be added to the mobile version.
