20090321TS -- Re Amarok Build 20090312

[Gary Steinert]

Hey Bruce,

First of all we need to know which version you are running. I am not familiar 
with 1.4.x, but as far as 2.x goes, you can simple add a single track to the 
playlist and play it. This way, once the track has ended it will simply stop 
playing, as there are no more tracks in the playlist.

There are a few ways to go about this:
 - Clear the playlist with the clear playlist button at the bottom, then drag 
the track into the playlist.
 - Drag the track over the CV (the center panel) and drop it on the 'Load' 
target. This will load only that track into the playlist.
 - Right click on the track in the collection browser an select 'Load'

Unfortunately I dont believe there is a way to bypass the playlist, but this 
should solve your problem.
