There shouldn't be 2 different queue-like features, really

Can't see this doing any good... by letting the user "convert" a given
playlist to a queue playlist, people will exidently destroy their
playlists. I'ts much better to have a static queue item (however that
is to be called) in the sources list and let people drag playlists
there.
IMO it's better to have two interfaces for the queue than two
different queue systems...
