I've sorted this one out on the Web interface.
What I want is for All Songs at Level 1 to do nothing, or not appear at
all, and for All Songs at level 2 to select all at that level.
I have achieved this by:
1) <playtype>none</playtype> at the very top of the CB menu
2) <playtype>sql></playtype> at menu level 1, with <playdata>
containing an sql select statement to select all items for the
selection at that level. Example below.
What this does is to show All Songs at the top level, but it does
nothing, which is good. At the next level, it selects all items
appropriate to that level. So, if using 'Works by Composer', having
chosen a composer, selecting 'All Songs' plays all tracks for that
composer.
