I'll second this.  I'm not sure if the 'browser' idea would be the best,
but something as simple as saving your location in the list if you come
back to it from a search or something.  Sometimes I want to jump out of
where I am in a long list (my library contains > 100k songs) to do a
search and not have to scroll all the way back to where it was.
