One click adding files to current playlist / device

Hello Everyone
So this is the one thing that has been bugging me forever with Winamp, and either there is a function for this and im stupid and also not able to find any threads about it, or apparantly nobody excepts me bothers, which would kinda amaze me.
So here goes, whenever i listen to some music on winamp and think, hey thats a nice tune that is CURRENTLY PLAYING (i usually have all my tracks on shuffle in the main playlist), i'd like to have that in my other playlist or my mp3 player, then i have to right-click it, select send-to, then pick the playlist from playlists or the device OR go to the library, look the song up there (which takes sometime with 30k files and a mediocre computer) and then drag&drop it over.
Hasnt this ever bothered anyone that you cant simply press one button or just drag and drop it over there, and bam, its done? Is there no plugin, no hotkey, nothing? because right now composing playlists song by song is a major pain in the ass with winamp imo.
If not, id like to realy encourage someone to make a plugin or implent this, i hardly believe im the only one that bothers this.

Thanks for your attention

/E: well, i found Joonas' "Drag 'n Drop from Playlist", which does at least allow me to drag stuff out of my playlist into explorerwindows and other playlists, but not directly to my mp3-player. it also causes winamp to crash quite a lot when making playlists, thank god for playlist undo :|
/EE: ok, playlist undo did NOTHING, it just crashed again, and my playlist is gone

i'd suggest my 'playlist file remover' plugin once i release v2.5 Beta 2 may fit with (at least) some of what you're asking for. the plugin will allow you to setup a hotkey to move the currently playing track to a folder (with the next build giving an option to specify the folder at the point of moving instead off assuming a default). only issue is that it'll remove the playlist entry (but that can be worked around).

is just the playlist side of things that it won't do but from your other post i'm wondering if it is just winamp library specific playlists that you're using (which would possibly be easier to add in some support for appending too...)
