Something people asked for earlier, and something I want, is to simply add the item to the cart but do not take the user off the current page. Anyone have any ideas?

Hmm.. I missed it. But what would be a good use case?

The use case, in my case anyway, would be to let people add multiple items without needing to go back and forth to the cart. I have a list of 2,000 digital song downloads and people usually want to buy between 10-100 at a time. I don’t want them to go to the cart after each selection.
