AIMP 4: Double click enqueue to playlist, and quick play/preview

[Hellas]

I just decided to give AIMP 4 a try (nice player indeed) and I am wondering is there any way to setup these kind of functionalities/options.

1. Double click on item in media library enqueue song to active playlist.

Here double click just throws everything in new playlist called Media library.

2. Quick play button in media library (plays given track without adding it anywhere).

1. Double click on item in media library enqueue song to active playlist.
2. Quick play button in media library (plays given track without adding it anywhere).

1. I think this is not good idea, because this behavior breakes default behavior for TreeView elements in Windows
2. It impossible. Player cannot play track without adding it to playlist.

I was thinking on something like this in MusicBee?

May be in future I will implement options like that.

For #2, I will pause the player and click the play on the media library.  I think if you have 2 sound cards you could direct it out of the other.  I used to have 2 sound cards so people could surf and watch youtube without messing with the audio of my party.

For #1, I need help.  I was a long time Winamp user and have just started using AIMP.  I must be doing something wrong because I don’t find it smooth to create a playlist.  How do other people add files to their playlist?

Here are the 2 processes after finding the file I want in the media library (not windows file explorer)

Winamp: Double click the song I wanted or right click and select "enqueue".  This would enqueue it at the end of the current playlist.
AIMP: Drag the song from the media library over to the playlist, then click the “OK” that comes up.  (Sometimes it will lose the dragging if I don’t click it exactly right)

Is my current AIMP process how other people add files to a playlist?  It doesn’t seem very smooth.

I am using D&D. Take a look at these settings:

The best would be to have it like in Winamp. Default action on double-click = play (or may be configurable in Options); in context menu, two actions: "play" and "enqueue".

The reason it's better is because the choice of whether I want the next song to play immediately or next, depends on whether I like the current song. So I need to be able to choose, hence two separate options.

Also it would be nice to have the actions "play" and "enqueue" in context menu for a folder. If folder has playlist in it, it adds the playlist; otherwise, all playable files.

I wonder why anybody needs proprietary "media library" (it seems like there's not a single player that wouldn't try to create its own - winamp, itunes, aimp... goo luck to find one without) -  when native Windows Explorer gives tons of possibilities to arrange everything.

AIMP has own context menu in Explorer that contains these commands.

I don't see anything like own menu. The only AIMP-related item of a context menu of MP3 file is "Open with AIMP". Does it have to be enabled somewhere?

found it!

That would be such a good option to set... I miss this action so much.

Is there a way to at least disable the double click action?
