That's why I think that a good solution would be to have an option to not 
have the play queue tracks disappear after playing.  Or at least, keep the 
last X songs around.  Sometimes, when I'm in the middle of stuff, I can't 
immediately check what is playing, but then I finish writing that email 
and I want to see what the last song was.  Or I get off that phone call 
and want to back up a couple of songs so I can listen to those ones I was 
excited about.

If the play queue could be configured to keep the last X songs around, and 
I could put daap songs on there, then I would be happy with that.

I forgot what status this was in:  Was there a patch to check out?
