Hello,
I just started using WMP 9 over Musicmatch and I was wondering if there is a
setting to add songs to the playlist by double clicking them like in
musicmatch. I can't find anything about it and when I double click a song it
plays it instead of adding it to the list. Any thoughts?
 
Right-click on the file and choose Add to Playlist.

If I wanted to do that I would right click it and select "Queue it up". But
I want to change the default action to queue it up when I double click it.
 
That's correct - that's not available as a default action. :\

? Really? I'd be all ears if there was one, since this is a feature I
myself would use.

The problem - and why this doesn't work TMK - is that the Play as Playlist
(default), Add to playlist, and Queue It Up are implemented as shellex (COM)
handlers. Thus none are accessible via command line options. As a further
problem, the Play as Playlist handler is the only handler that can set
itself as default.

So if you do get creative and hack the system so that only the Queue It Up
option is available... it's not the default action even then(!) and thus you
*still* can't have QIU as the default.

At least that's how it worked for me when I tried this. If you've got a
solution here, I'm all ears. Since I'm on the development team, I asked
about them potentially making a change here, but it wasn't made. Sorry.
