[slinkelist] Random play in newest version

[Jay Pfaffman]

OK, I'll try again.  I think that the latest CDJ (from a day or two ago)
knows not to add items which are in the play list.  I've upped the number
of already-played songs in the playlist to 1000 (thinking again, 100 is
probably enough), so unless I listen on random for a very long time I
won't get dupes anymore.
