I didn't use the patch in the end it didn't work very well. My 
implementation just bookmarks the route to the active node in the music 
tree and restores that node when restarting. The big advantage is it 
works fine if you have the 'Show entire music tree' setting turned on 
and browse though your music that way.

Sounds like a good idea. The pop menu is getting a little crowded but I 
don't suppose one more item will make a big difference.

I'm going to start expanding the metadata editor to show any found cover 
art images next I think :-)
