This is almost an exact duplicate of Bug 56459, but that bug was marked as RESOLVED \
back in 2003 and I'm still having this issue running from CVS-HEAD.

Basically, while JuK is set to random play, it should remember the tracks that it has \
already played in the current playlist/collection. Not only does the randomness seem \
to be very poor for me (tends to play the same 50-60 tracks most of the time out of \
the 2600+ tracks in my collection) but it will often play the same track it just \
played 5 tracks ago! 

I'm thinking that it would not only be nice to improve this, but write the previously \
played tracks to disk. That way random play will continue to play tracks I haven't \
heard yet even after I have closed and restarted JuK.  For example, say I have a \
playlist with the tracks A B C and D. Random play plays it as CBDA. After tracks C \
and B are played, I close JuK and reboot my system. When I resume random play on that \
playlist, it should play tracks D and then A. 

This might be unexpected behavior for those that do NOT want the playlists to loop, \
but stop after it has played each track once. Maybe this would be better to have as a \
configurable option in the JuK settings menu. Maybe a checkbox titled "Remember \
Previously Played Tracks".
