Summary0012391: Make 'Now Playing' aware of source of its content
DescriptionCurrently, the Now Playing dialog plays tracks without any 'awareness' of the source of the tracks that it plays. The consequence of this is that edits to the Now Playing list don't propagate to a Playlist that spawned it.

Another consequence is that the 'Remove from now playing and selected playlists', functionality doesn't work that well. The reason that we implemented this was to cover the usecase of when a user plays a playlist, and then attempts to delete a track from that playlist by deleting it from Now Playing. The current approach meets that requirement, but not very elegantly:
- It requires multiple steps
- The option to delete tracks from playlists occurs even when an album or other set of tracks (rather than a playlist) is currently playing
- While deletions from the NP list can be propagated to the originating Playlist, other edits to the NP list aren't propagated.

An alternative/preferable approach would be to use a mechanism that preserves the relationship between Now Playing and the Playlist that spawned it (e.g. Now Playing 'Gym Music'), so that any edit to the NP List/Playlist can be applied to both the NP list and the originating Playlist in a single step.
