Start playin once the playlist is replaced.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like to request this feature (or at least its implementation as a 
setting).

The current behaviour when replacing a playlist (e.g. by right clicking an 
album and choosing "Replace Playlist") stops the current track playback and 
replaces the playlist.

The desired behaviour is to do the same but also start playing the first track 
of the new playlist right away.

By the way, this is not a defect but a feature request; although I didn't see 
any place where to change it.

That is an interesting idea.  I have functionality for "crop" in the back-end 
but I did not add this to the client.  Cropping will clear all but the 
currently playing song.  

I think the way to go would be to prompt you if any action you take would clear 
the playlist and stop a playing song, and give you option to crop the playlist 
instead of clearing it.  I could then add a checkbox to "Always take this 
action".

I realize now that I misunderstood the original request when  responded.  I did 
not implement the cropping behavior I mentioned.  

The current version in SVN implements the requested behavior if mpd was playing 
when the playlist was replaced.  In that case playback will be restarted with 
the first song of the new playlist.  If mpd was not playing then nothing 
changes.
