[slim] Recently Played List

Hi Is it possible to get Logitech Media server to keep a list of recently played albums so that they can easily be played again. When I used to use CDs I would keep CDs that I'd just played on a shelf near the player and when the shelf got full (maybe 10 CDs) I'd put some of the items that

Thanks so much for all the effort you've already put into this! Before you spend any more time, maybe I should post something asking if others would be interested - no point in you spending hours on this if there are only a couple of users.

username/password are sent as clear text so you don't have to be a hacking genius to get them is you can get in the middle of a request. And if you have those, you have access to LMS. Not the whole system if Perl's security works but still you can fudge around LMS quite a bit.
