trevarthan, thank you for your reply,
you asked me:

>>Hmmm... I don't understand this request. Could you elaborate? What would the playback buttons do when nothing is in the playlist?

i think they should simplay play back the song which i have selected..!!! so it should be able to play back a singel song or an album WITHOUT havin to create a playlist first! at the moment the behaviour of 1.0.6 on my N800 is the following:
- start kagu -> choose one of the albums and tap on it
- the songs of this album wre showen, but there are NO PLAYBACK buttons on the right side!!! the right side is EMPTY (i think in 1.0.4 I did have buttons at this stage)
- so I tap on CD+, I tap on the album picture (which has NOW TURNED into an PLAYLIST picture) in the lower right corner), now I can start playback

If I now change my mind and want to quickly listen to one song of another album I have to:
- go back to the album list
- choose the album
- choose the title->the title is not played back straight away (as the playlist is still playing), but it is only ADDED to the playlist
- i have to open the playlist again, scroll down, and choose my song which I want to hear

So what I think I am asking for is: do not automatically play back only from the playlist, but if I open kagu fresh and select an album and one song inside this, please just give me the playback buttons so I can play bacl straight away. However, I do understand that it would be necessary to differentiate if someone wants to ADD one song to the playlist, or if he/she just wants to play back the current selection.

Maybe if I get used to the playlist idea would be the most easy..--)))
And Yes, the START/STOP on the enlarge button also has something to it, I have to admit....

sorry for the long post, those functions are very easy to SHOW on the N800, but vey hard to describe in words..

Thank you again, karl.
