The Now & Next info screen could do with a subtle change. I have seen this suggested before, so here's a refresh:

Instead of showing the playing track on the top line of the screen, it should be displayed as the 2nd or 3rd position of the screen, so you can see the last (few) track(s) as well. I like to see the "context" of the whole playlist, or at least a window on part of it, and since N & N can actually be used to search back and forth through a couple of tracks, it would make it easier to see backwards an equal amount as forwards.

This would tend to make the name "Now & Next" a bit misleading, I suppose.

Hmmm I strongly disagree. Let us forget the past, and focus on the future. :)

But seriously, if this change is made, it should be configurable in config.ini somewhere. Like allow the user to decide where the "current" song shows up in the N&N display. I would rather see the next 3 songs than see 2 ones I've already heard and just one next. YMMV, of course.

I have to disagree with this one... If this was implemented, it'd have to be as an option..
