The same result: 297 versus 657 tracks. I had a closer look in the
Custom Browse playlist and it seems that many songs appear at least
twice...

When using other artists or genres, in general what happens is: the
smaller the playlist the quicker the response. But it still is quite
annoying, especially the fact that the remote freezes for some time.

I think it would be absolutely great to have that included (at least as
an option, to avoid any disappointed users):

So in that case, hitting the play button could automatically launch a
preselected dynamic playlist (which a user can choose/define in the
Dynamic/SQLPlaylist Web UI):
-Custom Browse -> Artist -> Hitting Play button starts preselected
artist related dynamic playlist 
-Custom Browse -> Year -> Hitting Play button starts preselected year
related dynamic playlist 
-Custom Browse -> Genre -> Hitting Play button starts preselected genre
related dynamic playlist
-Custom Browse -> Custom Tag -> Hitting Play button starts preselected
custom tag related dynamic playlist

The Play+hold option could remain functional, as it brings you to the
complete list of available dynamic playlists to choose from.

I must admit I don't have a clue what this would mean in terms of
programming...
