The one after the last track in the queue? What would be wrong with that?

Imagine the following scenario:
I sometimes use the playlist shuffle mode to add only songs that I haven't heard \
before. When I quit amaroK (or it crashes) and I restart it, I want to continue with \
the first unplayed track in the list. I doubleclick it to start playing, but it jumps \
to the top of the playlist. I don't want to listen to all the songs that were above \
it again, however. So I enqueue the next unplayed track, in an attempt to make amaroK \
skip the others. But, as you know, this does not work either. So I have to manually \
put the song back where it came from.

What would you think about having more context menu entries, for example "Enqueue", \
"Move after currently playing track" and "Enqueue and move" or something like that? \
That way, the user can choose which behaviour he wants and it would reduce confusion \
because the menu items could behave the same in every playing mode.
