OK. This is good.

Yup. What I'd want.

?!? eh? I don't understand why, if as you said above there is a
current "master list of added" (I'm assuming this means edited
list)
tracks being restored.

So I take from this you are maintaining two separate lists (played &
waiting) vs. keeping an index into a playlist from which tracks are
add/removed/shuffled. My expectation would be that Random only
shuffles the list the first time. Subsequent presses of Random would
re-shuffle the current (now a modified playlist) list of tracks. The
premise is once I've tuned a playlist, I would like a way to
Bookmark it and keep it around for later playback, where as Random
speaks to a one-time command to scramble an order.

Um, what are my choices again? :-) Seriously, I don't understand the
difference between these two, they sound the same.

Thanks Tony! Can't wait to try the new version tonight.
