Play button behaviour is... odd

I notice that clicking the Play button for a specific track will play that track AND add all the other tracks in the album to the playlist.
This isn't the most logical behaviour; if I want to add all tracks I can click the Play button on the album cover. When I click something on a specific track I ONLY want to deal with that track. I certainly don't want Subsonic to be 'helpful' like this, especially when there's a more logical way to add all tracks if I want.
Does this make sense to anyone else?

degan6 - thanks for pointing out that it is indeed a "feature." But I am with thatkeith in that it is an odd behavior. When I click on the play button next to a track, I expect that track to start playing and not have the entire album added to the playlist. I wonder what the reason behind choosing this odd behavior...

I also think this is unintuitive... if i want to play the album i click on play all. If i want to hear one specifig song i click the song, and then have to remove all other songs from the playlist

I'm not a big fan of it either. But I can see the logic. When you are thinking of a song you want to hear and you just add that song to the queue it will just play about 3 minutes of music.This feature keeps music playing (most of the time). I would like a check box is settings though to disable it though.
