Shuffle Mode Improvements: Played Track Indicator and Next Track Display

[dejom52zhnj]

Hello AIMP Team,
With the active development of AIMP 6, I would like to propose two interface improvements regarding the Shuffle Mode that would significantly enhance the user experience:

   1. Visual indicator for played tracks in Shuffle Mode:
   Currently, when Shuffle is active, AIMP keeps track of the history internally, but the playlist looks completely unchanged. It would be highly useful if tracks that have already been played during the current shuffle cycle could be visually marked (e.g., dimmed/grayed out or given a subtle icon) directly in the playlist.
   2. Persistent "Next Track" display:
   Since the player generates the random sequence ahead of time, it would be great to have a dedicated field in the UI (or natively supported in the default Charm UI skin) that constantly displays the title of the upcoming track. Note: The player clearly already knows the next track in advance, as it switches instantly without any delay when hovering the "Next" button. It would be amazing to just expose this existing internal information visually on the screen.

Thank you for your hard work on AIMP 6 and for celebrating 20 years of this amazing player!

What reason for? If you what viewing what tracks are already played / were not, I suggest to shuffle the playlist entries instead of using shuffle mode. So, playback order will always be obvious.

Since the player generates the random sequence ahead of time, it would be great to have a dedicated field in the UI (or natively supported in the default Charm UI skin) that constantly displays the title of the upcoming track. Note: The player clearly already knows the next track in advance, as it switches instantly without any delay when hovering the "Next" button. It would be amazing to just expose this existing internal information visually on the screen.

In the default skin, this information is displayed in the tooltip for the Next Track button.
