How do you see the library statistics?

This is a lot of clicking for something that could be done with a directory or file context menu item - "Add to Playlist" - where a dialog would come up with existing playlists or the option to create a new one.  This is how it is done in Volumio.  Am I missing something?  Is there a way to add a directory to a playlist directly?

How do you have the files organized and are you creating playlists for specific shows that you’d subsequently use to bypass the file browser to queue up the audio? I would use Clear/Add on the first folder of audio you wanted to add, then Add for any subsequent folders. Tap the ellipsis button and save the playlist. If you want to add more audio to a specific playlist then you need to load it first but then adding more folders is easy, save the playlist again when done. 

I’m not sure if it’d work in your particular application and can’t test because I don’t collect untagged audio but try entering a show name or whatever other criteria you like in the folder view search field and that should pull up any matching audio (e.g. “gunsmoke” would list all files that matched, I think it’ll work with filenames), tap/click on the number at the top of the list (like “53 items”) and you can add those and bypass digging through the folders.
