Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Interface ideas

Some have argued that it should be rigidly implemented as FIFO, because 
"that's what a queue is", which is very limited for what I would want if 
I was looking for "queue-like" functionality. I think the definition of 
the word queue should be applied very loosely here, otherwise you end up 
losing neat functions - like being able to hit back a couple times to 
hear a song that had just played.

And a previously mentioned player keeps many more than just 5 songs in 
its "queue", though it only displays the previous 5; and you can "back 
up" the queue to previously played songs. Also, it will indefinitely add 
more songs to the queue until you manually switch back to regular 
playlist mode.
