    Default Tap-on-title action in Mezzmo for Android

    I’ve been trying out the Mezzmo application on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9. In general, I like it; one thing is driving me nuts...

    Is there any way to set the tap-on-title action to append the single item tapped to the now playing queue, instead of obliterating the queue and replacing it with everything in the folder containing the item I tapped?

    The problems I have with this are:

    1. It’s counter-intuitive. Why would tapping on a single item put the whole folder in the queue?

    2. It’s destructive, and tapping an item in a list when you meant to scroll or long-press is too easy to do by mistake. I had a list of songs queued. I inadvertently tapped a song. Boom! That song started playing, and (as far as I know) there was no way to get the previous contents of my Now Playing queue back.

    3. Long-pressing is clumsy when you want to add a series of single items from different locations to the queue. One is less likely to want to add a series of whole folders to the queue, so a long press for that purpose wouldn’t be annoying.

    As you note, a tap on the title does add the selected file and other files from the current playlist/folder into the PLAYLIST tab and starts playing the tapped file. That's the way we designed Mezzmo (Android) app for typical usage of playing files.

    There are two workarounds for you: (i) a long touch on a file and then queue the single file into the PLAYLIST tab, or (ii) tap the thumbnail of the file (not the text) and it will display details about the file. On the Action bar at the top of the details view, you can queue the file.

    Also, when you create a list of favourite files as a playlist, you can go to PLAYLIST tab and save the playlist. This lets you have it for safekeeping & load it back at another time for further playback.
