[slinkelist] Random play in newest version

[paul.willmott@omsl.bm]

Colby,

Could you add an option screen for the random play critrea so that the user
can choose what is more important.

I for one would perfer total random play over fast queue time, and would
like a play track if its least played track in database.

Cheers
Paul

oops. it actually works exactly as I designed it to, it's just that it
wasn't a good design criteria. It tries to randomly select things which (in
order of priority)

1. aren't already in the playlist
2. aren't from the same player
3. have a short queue time

when you have only one player, criteria #2 will always fail, and so it goes
to #3, which can only be satisfied by picking a track from the same disc as
the previous track. I'll see what I can do.
