1) ">> Complete Album" can't be removed because this provides additional items, not duplicated items.

2) ">> Tag View" shouldn't be removed because this opens up a complete duplicate hierarchy for every folder (recursively). This would greatly increase the amount of data sent to the control point.

3) It seems that ">> Disc n" could be removed but after many hours of trying different ways to do this I couldn't come up with a new scheme that felt right to me in terms of user experience.

4) This leaves ">> Show All". I think this could be removed but it didn't seem worth trying to do this given that the other three "Hide" menus would still be in place.

Thanks for this response, I already thought that it wouldn't be as easy as it may sound. I presume that we are talking about removing just the Hide Contents browsing step for 1) to 4), not about removing the special slecetion choices themselves.

1) This seems to be the an obvious exception when a >> selection choice not only contains duplicated items but also additional items.

2) I can't think of a situation when a user wants to recursively add such a lot items to a playlist that the increased amount of data transferred to the control point becomes problematic.

3) I'm not sure what kind of new scheme you mean, given that it is intended to just remove the intermediate Hide Contents step.
