Context menu option to add a song to audacious playlist

Personally, I like the Audacious audio player.  It's simple, supports ReplayGain, automatically adds multiple selected files to the playlist, and is popular.

Recently, I wanted to add a couple songs to an already playing playlist.  Although I could just select the file(s) and then drag them to into the player, I wondered if I could create a right-click context menu to add them to the playlist instead.  It turned out to be really easy:

Follow this guide and instead of their brasero command line example, use:
audacious -e %U
Then, when editing the .desktop files, change the "Name" line to:
Name=Audacious Playlist
and add the following line:
Icon=audacious
