etc)

Q. What DACP server, OS, and version? (OSX iTunes 10.1.2, Windows 7
MonkeyTunes 1.5.1 etc)

A: Windows 7, MonkeyTunes 1.6.3.4

Q. What TunesRemote+ version? (found on Menu->More->About)

A: 2.4.1

Please provide any additional information below.

I quite enjoy the functionality of tunesremote-plus with MonkeyTunes.  That 
solution works quite well for remote controlling MediaMonkey.

However, is it correct that Artist>Album>Browse Tracks>Play track results in 
the same functionality as Artist>Album>Play album (that is, play first song and 
then queue rest of album)?  Alternately, it seems that just selecting a track 
(without going to the context menu) plays that track and queues all subsequent 
tracks in the album.  Is there a way to select a track and just play it without 
queuing additional tracks?  It seems as if one could select "Queue Track" from 
the context menu, hit forward on the bar, and then hit play, but that seems 
incredibly inefficient.

Please let me know.  Thank you.

Unfortunately this is the way the "iTunes" way of the world is and MonkeyTunes 
is just playing along to what the API passes it.

As you know iTunes doesn't work quite like any other Media Player out there...

A Play Track Now menu item would be nice but there is no API call for that.  So 
it would have to be a hack of TR+ calling Queue Track, then go find that track 
in the Playlist, and then call Play on that track.

Understood, thanks for the explanation.  I tried the Hyperfine product and 
found that TunesRemote-plus is superior in that one can queue an individual 
track while another is playing.  So, I'll stick with this one and see how it 
evolves.  Thanks for your time.

I posted a BETA in the Downloads area that now at least clears the Queue and 
plays this track immediately.  It is still not what you want but its a little 
better than the same functionality as the clicking on the song.
