Songs should work the same as scenes

Would be good for songs to work the same way as scenes by auto pausing at the end and not leaving a bookmark. As it is right now, after watching a song from a musical, the movie keeps going. And if I stop playback, the system thinks that's where I am in the movie.

Noticed this the other day when trying to entertain my children. 1st world problems, but would be a nice feature. It seems as a song is a lazy version of a scene.

I imagine you could make your own scenes and title them with the songs' name. Would be some work, but not impossible.
 
The lack of a stop point is deliberate. Many times, especially with songs in musicals, they don't have a clean ending. They flow out of the song and into dialog and so on, and so having a hard stop at the end ends up feeling too abrupt. We did try it both ways, and this was the better solution.
 
Also, stating with “Play All Songs” will jump to the next song instead of just continuing on nd does not leave a bookmark in the title.

There must be a predetermined stop point if it skipping from one song to the other when you "Play All". Either way, MikeKobb made a fair point.
 
Yes, but not a bookmark that K treats as a “Pause” in the title. It still treats the title as unplayed.
