Nitpick: just "media player daemon" is fine; the preference these days
seems to be not using the indefinite article. Or possibly "network media
player daemon" would be better.

Does it support queuing? What I mean by that (and "queuing" may not be
the correct term), is that I want to select some songs from the library
and add them to the playlist and as they are played, they are removed
from the playlist.

Does it support random play? Not shuffling the playlist, but if the
playlist is empty, just select a random song from the library. If I
select some songs from the library, it should play those, and then, when
the playlist is again empty, go back to random selections.

If not, do you have any idea if upstream would be amenable to
such features? Obviously, they'd have final say over a particular
implementation.

Thanks,
Steve
