This morning I found myself wanting to play the first five tracks of an album, using the WiiM Home app on an iPad. In concept this is simple: clear the queue, then hit the three-dot menu on the right-hand side of the first track and select Play Last, then repeat for the next four tracks. In practice, not so easy: on the second track I missed the three-dot menu and immediately found the whole queue flooded with unwanted tracks. Then I have to display the queue (two more actions), hit the Clear Queue button, confirm that I really want to clear the queue (two more actions), then find my way back to the Browse screen (two more actions). A total of six actions just for the privilege of starting all over from the beginning. And of course when I tried again the same thing happened again -- I lost count of how many times I had to do this before finally succeeding. Even when all goes well, I still have to perform fifteen separate actions perfectly.
Usually I don't have quite this much trouble, but I'm an old man and neither my eyesight or my fine motor control are what they used to be. That tiny little three-dot menu is too easy to miss, and the consequences of missing are far too annoying. RANT: why would anyone want hitting the track to do what it currently does? I've been playing music for decades and never once have I wanted it to do that END RANT.

Suggestions:
- Make the damn three-dot menu larger and easier to hit.
- Better yet, make hitting the track just bring up the menu. (Sonos used to do this, many years ago, until they changed it).
- Even better, add an option to control what happens when you press a track. Choices could be what happens now, or any one of the menu entries, or bringing up the menu. Maybe a long press could always bring up the menu.
- Have some way to select multiple tracks, then perform an action on them.
