Description Allan Day 2016-01-06 12:28:54 UTC 
Selection mode is best used when in it is typical to act on multiple items simultaneously. When editing tracks that belong to a playlist (such as removing them from the playlist), it is most common to act on individual items. 

A context menu on each list row would be better than using selection mode. This would have the added benefit that context menus are less work to use than selection mode - you just right click (or long press) and act directly on the item.
