Bug Description

Seems like an intuitive thing to do. The queue is a special playlist.

I'm sure there are many opinions about what the action should be, especially from the anti-fans of iTunes (E.g. me). I would prefer that the file should not be copied nor moved. Instead, the queue item should only contain only a reference to the file. Unnecessary reproduction of audio files is not desirable for a number of reasons.

Haha, yes, we are in agreement. Playlists are just lists of files, and moving things from playlist to playlist does not affect the actual location of the file.
