I agree that append a playlist is a key lacking feature, but I *think* it's targetted for the near future, so don't fret. I don't know about the hold-a-button solution though, because I don't think "short click" or "long click" means anything on the remote, so this would only work with the front panel buttons. If I'm wrong on this, someone correct me. I think the way to go is to use the CD-MD-CH button, which is used to change between select/append in search mode. Just extend that functionality to the playlist menu. Currently it just switches info modes like it does when no menu is selected.
BTW this would receive more attention in the Wish List forum.
