[slinkelist] Random play in newest version

[Mike Kropp]

That's what I do too.  What I object to is it pulling the same track out of
the search list more than once in a given session.  What I'd really like to
see is the track get removed from the search list once it's added to the
playlist (or at least when it's played).
