Though the addition of this bug is what is blocking me from having single-digit bugs at the end of the week, I will concede to try to get this in for 7.0 :). 

Bottom of the list: P5.

am I right in thinking this isn't trivial, since the skin basically supports only one icon per album item?

KDF-- quite right. 1 icon per line item right now in the skin.

pushing to 7.0.1

hmmm...not so sure now. the choose player screen puts a check and a right arrow icon on one line, so I think this might not be hard. Back to 7.0 you go....

thing is, the check is for a checked item.   'check' can't just be arbitrarily added. I'm seeing funny things with album lists that don't add up so I'm getting lost.  Main album list behaves one way, album list with a play item at the top behaves another way (added intents on the selected item) so I can't follow back to the right style.
hoping to help, but I might just be getting in the way :)

one option is below.  alternate would be to not use 'play', but some other identifier and create the group with an added ocmponent in SlimBrowser.

I'm sorry, my initial description was misleading.  I do NOT want multiple icons per item (except check marks). 

What I do want is consistent display of the >, play and add symbols, and only one of these at a time.

For example, in the song info on a pandora song, Artist, Album, Song, Duration, Volume Adjustment, File Format and Bitrate should not have > symbols, as you can't descend on them.

so did you want > on album listings or not?  If so, that's two 'icons'.

can't help with pandora, I'm afraid.  I expect it would be tricky as it is probably using the standard song info, except in this case the usual items that can be dropped into, can't.

yes, what KDF said.

an artwork icon and a > icon is two icons.

I think what KDF proposed in an earlier comment might work just fine, but haven't had the opportunity to test yet.

it doesn't cover the song info stuff, and it would be BEST to not use 'play' which would guess is for some other unused purpose.  I tried adding descend=>Icon("desend"), and editing the style. This works, but the > is up in the top right instead of centred.  I don't know why, but it's not critical if "play" isn't being used right now.

Ok, thanks.  So, the preference would be:

Items with album art would indeed have a > item, centered vertically and on the right.    This sounds harder and we should punt this to 7.0.1.  (We need the ability to have more than one graphic per menu item.)

Items in song info that you can't descend into (like pandora or bug 6783) we should fix for 7.0.

for the record, this bug is ONLY against the > icon not showing up in the albumitem style. The songinfo page has nothing to do with this one. Also, the > icon behavior works correctly in local songinfo pages, only problems with XML browser-driven pages.

Great.  Let's punt on this to 7.0.1.  And 6783 should cover the other case.
