What songs did it last play?

[Quimoniz]

Last played song unknown (when using random playback)

Suppose the following scenario:

1. I have a very long playlist with over a hundred entries playing at random
2. Now I notice a particular song piking my interest, but I can not abort my current occupation of drilling a hole into a wooden plank to mount it to a box as that would jeopardize my efforts of the past 15 minutes.
3. 10 minutes later I run to the player to look up what song played. But it's already two songs further! - there is no reasonable way for me to look up the song that played 10 minutes ago.
4. User is sad

Suggestions:

A.) Have some kind of 'event log'. Which registers a separate event whenever a new song is being played. --> Each action could be event based, thus also making a remote control feature more easily possible (so we can perhaps implement another feature more easily: synch multiple devices)

B.) Make the random order somehow visible in the playlist. (Maybe with numbering: '+1', '+2' for the next tracks and '-1', '-2' etc. for the previously played tracks.

C.) Add some 'forward' and 'backward' buttons to the player.
