Oddly (or perhaps deliberately?) there is not Feature Request section for QMP so here's mine.

I'd like to see the ability to load a data CD into the playlist just as you would an audio CD. At the moment, the only way to do this is to use Add Folder but that requires a bit more navigation.

It has a few practical problems, mainly relating to loading subfolders all at once.

It's not a problem loading subfolders from Add Folders so how would this be any different?

I'm still confused as to how this would be more difficult. There are several places in the code where essentially the same thing is already being done. Add Folder from the Playlist menu, Add Folder to Library from the Library menu and the Watch Folders option.

Think through this further, the functionality should be an option to add appropriate files from any removable media since CDs aren't really the only media that shows up this way (compact flash, SD, MMD, etc.). The difference between this functionality and Add Folders is that you can load all files from the root of a removable drive by specifying the drive location. This is similar to what the My Devices option does in the Media Library but not everyone will want to use Media Library (I've not seen any real advantage to it) and there is no option to add to playlist from there.
