Re: xap Plugin for Slim devices Squeezebox AKA Squeezecenter v7.4

Edward,
Great work!

A big surprise were the changes to the Controller UI in 7.4! The OSD pop up
is much more readable-it would be interesting to see if it could be made
coloured and/or more lines (>2).

While I'm here :-)
Any idea how to insert a track into the current playlist at the top - so it
plays immediately and then goes back to the remainder of the playlist (and
I'm not too fussed whether the original track restarts or skips to the
next)using xAP?
Ideally playlist.edit with the edit=insert
