im looking for a remote control app that will allow me to see files on the phone rather than on main display
so if im playing music at a party it doesnt interrupt the visuals - and i can browse and add tracks with phone.

The Unofficial/Official iPhone remote can do that. I don't know about the official android remote, but I would assume it can too.

the ipod one requires ios 5 - which i dont have (but it looks like im going to have to get)
the android one will only let me queue whole albums
and it doesnt work properly for me.
ie it will let me play a track - but i cant actually remote control the songs.
other xbmc apps will let me do this - is it possible other XBMC android apps are "hanging onto" the remote so the official one cant send the control command?

You can also try Music Pump XBMC Remote or Yatse Widget on Android.

XBMC Commander for iOS does all you describe... You can basically create and edit a playlist on the fly... works super for me.
PS On it you can also browse YouTube, and any video you want to play, you can have it play on your TV. Great for music videos...

ok - the long press works on android, i was just using press as i had changed on XBMC PC settings to add rather than play when tracks where added, i presumed this would mean no matter how they were added, but it seems it means when added via mouse.
still cant seem to bring up playlist on android tho.
