I don't mind as long as when I start playing music again it goes to the next 
track and not repeat the last one I was playing when I hit 'stop after 
current track'. An extra menu entry from the tool bark icon would be handy 
too, rather than having to bring up Amarok just so that I can click on stop 
after current track.
