huh... you are making this very difficult for this poor soul.

Well, just like in musicmatch... create a new playlist call it whatever you want "new playlist" Then go into your library of songs and right click on the song you want in the new playlist which brings up contextual menu and then choose playlist and choose your playlist very simple(if you don't have a two button mouse you have to use the control key) So, instead of two clicks in music match you can actually use one click and you get to choose which playlist you want to put it in. I used my dell and did a test... created 3 playlists and picked 28 songs to put in the playlists. From creating to filling up the playlists with the songs I wanted I was able to do it 12 seconds quicker using itunes then musicmatch. Just using one playlist and 15 songs musicmatch won by 1 second.

right clicking is very cumbersome on my laptop. and anyway, right-clicking to get that menu, then having to open the sub menu of the playlists is WAY more work than just dragging each file. it is still way harder because of the laptop thing, I guess I have to get used to plugging my little mouse in more, although i am usually using it on my lap, so that is not really possible.
What I was describing in musicmatch was the way that when i am flipping through my music library, not even my musicmatch library, just my main music file,(remember those yellow files) I could just click on any song and it would be placed next in sequence in the musicmatch playlist. you could literally click a whack of songs quickly and return to what you were doing, l had a playlist with a few hundred songs in it after a while, cool for going away for the weekend...

That's exactly what the party shuffle option does!!

You ctrl+click on any song and choose "Play next in Party Shuffle", and that will "queue-up" the song, ready to be played next. You can add to the bottom of the queue with the "Add to Party Shuffle". If you leave it to play through all the songs you've queued, it'll go back to choosing random songs. You can also move songs around once they're queued-up to change their play order.

Morning:

i was looking for a similar alternative: I went with SongBird 0.4 and then added the "add-on" Now Playing

This does exactly what you wanted! Your post was like from the 80's but hey... so is your music collection!

Enjoy,
