As I have mentioned several times before, I did not follow earlier discussions, because I am subscribed to this list for about one week. And all feedback I got for the queue manager was "we don't need one, feature creep." But that doesn't matter, now I understand I can live without one.

As I also mentioned before, it has several disadvantages in my opinion:
- you can't drop tracks directly from the collection
- you can't easily drop tracks between different playlists. In the worst case, you have to scroll through several hundred lines while dragging to find the right place to drop.
- you can't create playlists from within the playlist browser, just save the whole current playlist.
- you can't easily play a whole playlist in random mode and at the same time consider wishes from listeners (would require a queue manager or a dynamic playlist which is feeded by a saved playlist)
