IMO, it's because it requires the use of the context-menu that it's so easy to screw up on the Touch. And even easier on the Radio with its click-knob. It's also a huge PITA because you have to use the slow click-hold method to call up the menu, then make a menu selection, and then sit through the

Note that the OP says "impromptu playlist". Not a stored playlist. A playlist that you just want to put together now. It's definitely easier in the web interface than in any other Squeezebox interface, but still possible to screw up if you're not paying attention. I'm not certain, but it may be

How about using the WebUI to build your playlist? Chill is on the right track, too. You can use any software to build the playlist as long as you use the same file paths as Music Server uses. Export them as M3U to your playlist folder and then scan for new playlists. Or create a playlist with on
