It is probably just me, but don't understand why I can't just play an album instead of what's in the PL.
The answer to that is fairly simple : because all in XXHighEnd can play through the Playlist only. Can't be changed.
But now I think of it ... When I "blindly" press clear like I told, I actually always look at the little yellow light in the "Load" button. When that is lit, I press Clear. When Clear is lit, I don't need to do that (so both will never lit together).
Maybe that helps ? and otherwise I'm afraid it is too bad.
Or do you want me to make an additional setting which you can set to automatically clear the Playlist first at loading new albums (or tracks) ? To me it really seems that I better spend my time on SQ, or ?
This is just a question, but a serious one ...
