I've moved this to 5.0 as 'Urgent' since the issue occurs for both Playlists and Now Playing, and it's definitely not expected behavior.

If it's not easy/low risk to fix, push to 5.0.1.

How to paste to the first position?
I think pasting to selected position 5 should really paste into this position (and shift the rest), not to the position 6. And when nothing selected, it should paste to the end of the list.

I agree with Michal that current MM5 behaviour is expected and is how mostly apps works.
Tested iTunes and Foobar2000 and both apps works like MM5 -- i.e. pasting prior to selected track -- and thus also allowing to paste to the first position.

For me the MM4 behaviour seems buggy.

I prefer/expect the MM4 behavior, but if other apps take this approach let's leave as is.

I tested spread sheet app Libre office and it only have Move Down on multi row paste. So it looks like current behavior is prefered more in many apps.
