Description Mark Miksis 2010-06-04 10:57:11 UTC

I'd like to see SbS and mySB maintain a stack of previously listened to tracks and streams that I can access and play items from.  I'm not sure what the UI should look like, but I'm imagining something that would be available in all UIs and have a user experience similar to the forward and back buttons/dropdowns in a web browser.  This is not a playlist as it would survive beyond the clearing and creating of playlists.

While you wait for Logitech to provide this, there are at least third party plugins that provide this kind of views:
- TrackStat (only supports local music)
- PlayLog (supports both local music and online streams)
- TrackStat Playlist (Generates a playlist when you play tracks)

Of course, neither of these solutions will work with MySB and TinySC in the Touch.

I would love to at least have the history data storage in the standard system even though it only provided some basic user interface. More advanced ways of browsing the statistics could be provided by third parties if Logitech don't have the resources to implement this.

As with other statistics data, it's important that the history survives a rescan.
