Fast-send: transferring items to a music player directly from filter results windows
The user should have the ability to right click any item in the search filter windows (be it an album, artist, or even an entire genre), and to transfer said item to his or her music player. This greatly cuts down the time required to fill up your music player, especially when you put your music on the player in albums, not single files. Currently, it seems that the user has to select an album, have it display in the file list below the filter windows, and only then the files in this list can be transferred. Seems kinda roundabout.
This is an example illustration of the proposed process:
1. User searches for The Artist in the library
2. User receives a list of all albums recorded by The Artist in their library, which are diplayed in filter windows
3. User right clicks Album 2 in the Album filter window, and selects a "Send to player" option
4. Songbird queues Album 2 for transfer to the connected music player
Alternatively:
1. User searches for The Artist in the library
2. User receives a list of all albums recorded by The Artist in their library, which are diplayed in filter windows
3. User decides to transfer all The Artist albums, right clicking The Artis in the Artis filter windows, and selecting a "Send to Player" option
4. Songbird queues all albums by The Artist for transfer to the connected music player

I’m kind of frustrated by the lack of this option, it hampers my experience while tranferring music.

Inappropriate?Btw, I am aware of drag-an-drop functionality; however, it is a bit inconvenient, as the items in the list (such as the music player) are a bit to small for comfort. However, even if that were rectified (larger detection area for left sidebar items, perhaps?), dragging and dropping tens of albums can still be considered a chore.
