When I first started using the controller I had no idea there even was a current playlist as part of the product, because I never discovered "go" on NP.

To aid in users finding this (and to give another option) I propose putting a "Current Playlist" option somewhere on the context menu that appears when hitting + on the NP screen. It could even give a little help on the item scroll text letting the user know that go/right is the other way to get there.
