The new 'Play' overlay button in the v5 beta is excellent - and something I have been hoping to see for a while. Even [i]better [/i]would be an 'Add to Queue' button next to it! Would that be a simple thing to implement?
Thanks.

I came here to request this feature, so I'll just bump this thread instead. The "Play" overlay is great, and now that I'm in the habit of NOT having to click-through to an album to play said album, I find myself wanting the same convienience for adding an album to the end of the current playlist. Thanks!

Just like the previous poster, I too ended up at this thread because I was wondering if anyone already requested this feature. I think having an "add to playlist" overlay button would be a nice and very useful addition.

Thanks!

I'm not sure several overlay buttons is the best solution, or if for some of these perhaps simply adjacent links would be better, but...

...basically however I second/third/fourth this proposal. I frequently just want to add whole albums to existing or new playlists while browsing, and entering each album, choosing "select all" from the drop-down, then "add to playlist" from the dropdown, is extremely tedious. Even a "Add all to playlist" link inside album view would be an improvement, though not having to go into album view to add a whole album to a playlist would be ideal.

I imagine most people probably use playlists to organize individual tracks rather than whole albums, but I primarily prefer to listen to whole albums, and I use playlists for convenient syncing to my mobile subsonic apps, so being able to quickly fill playlists with albums would be a great boon.

This would also help me approximate another feature I wish Subsonic had: shuffle by album. I frequently like to listen to random albums, and this would allow me to just trawl through the random album view, clicking buttons to add to a playlist, then playing the list. As it is currently, I can use the overlay button to choose one album to play right now, but have to go back and pick another when it's done, or do the tedious procedure above to add multiple albums to a playlist.

There is an "Add all" link in the album view. It's one of the links that sits right below the album name.
