I haven't noticed many problems like that myself; can you provide an example 
for when it adds extra tracks?

I think mostly, it's likely to be the way that DynamicPlaylist works.  I just 
return the next track to play, when I handle a request from Dynamic Playlist to 
queue another track.

I can probably make this work better - check the position of the currently 
playing track, and only queue a new track when it's at the end of the playlist.

In fact, I meant to make this honour the other DynamicPlaylist settings.  "Now 
Playing will show <n> upcoming songs and <n> recently played songs", rather 
than just add a single future track each time a new track is played.  So I'll 
probably implement that next.

I didn't like that mode of operation much; I was specifically concentrating on 
DynamicPlaylist integration, rather than copy SugarCube.
Dynamic Playlist works by automatically turning off when something else is 
played.  i.e. the user doesn't have to remember to turn it off when queueing up 
other music to play.  I don't think I can stop that behaviour, if I want to use 
Dynamic Playlist to handle the playlist size/history.

Best to use SugarCube if you want to add songs into a mix and evolve from that.
