If you're currently listening to a song and you hit play on another song, it should queue up the second song to play when the first finishes. When you started playing the first song, also, the queue should have opened up at the bottom to show a list of the songs, and if you wanted to skip to the second song you could either hit the next button or the play button in the second song in the list.

Did the queue not open up for you after hitting play on the first song? Normally it should, unless you've manually closed the queue previously, but if this was your first visit that shouldn't be the case. When the queue is open, it should be pretty visually apparent what clicking the play button did. Also, most places that will add instead of play immediately should have an icon change (play+) http://cl.ly/image/1R3n1I1S0y0i
There may be a few places that either are not updating their icon or should be playing immediately but have the wrong classname and are getting caught in the 'play next' process. Bugs happen, I'll make sure it's on the list of things to check.
When you click on a playlist, it seems to drop about 20 songs into that queue, completely filling the bottom of the browser window. So clicking another song gives precisely no feedback.
I imagine it's happily dropping an icon off the screen someplace, but there's no evidence of it. Unless you happen to open the aforementioned "queue" box and see that the number has changed.
Incidentally, I notice that the box at the bottom says "drag music here." On Win7/Chrome, attempting to drag a song usually just selects the entire page. I gave up on trying until coming back here and seeing people talking about that ability. I'd recommend getting an onselectstart handler onto that page.
Queue Feedback:
You're right that we need some queue adding feedback and we've been trying to find a way to go about it that won't prove to annoying to the user. Next week you should see a small popup above the queue count every time you add :)
Dragging:
We're trying to figure out what page you were trying to drag song from. Many of the pages/grids are draggable but we still have a few places left to implement it.
Was it the Community page by chance? We'll be adding the ability to drag from there, hopefully by the end of the month.
I was dragging from the homepage. It seemed to happen more often when I was scrolled down a bit, but overall about half my drag attempts dragged whereas the other half selected.
You can reproduce the select effect by simply missing an icon when you start your drag. Now imagine that happening when you were directly over one.
All the best. As I said before, this is a massive improvement on the original. I'll actually use this site.
