PowerDVD 18 Ultra v 18.0.1815.62

I have ripped my CDs to a local disk drive which I access with PDVD where on disk, the tunes are in a folder hierarchy by artist, by CD. I prefer playing a single track at a time, within and among different artists so within PDVD, I navigate among the folders to select the next tune I want to hear.

I may be wrong about this but I seem to recall that in earlier versions of PDVD, once a song was selected for playing, the folder list of tunes would remain displayed so you could be viewing other tunes to select while the current tune continued to play.

Now when a song is played, the song list disappears and is replaced by the playing song title, artist and a square grey box in the center of the screen that contains a graphic of 2 music notes. If you return to the song list, the current song stops playing.

Have I missed something in the UI options and if not, is there some way to persist the song list while a given song is playing?

Thanks!
