Bug Description

When I listen to a playlist using the default order and for some reason I push stop (media-keys) and want to start listening again after that the player jumps back to the track I have selected instead to the track I have last heard. This is the standard behavior. I think it would be much better to always jump back to the last played song, it just makes more sense to me. This is what most other players do as well :)

I also have this problem.
If I stop playback it does not remember the song I was playing. Same thing if I close exaile and restart it does not remember what song I was listening to.
I thought default behaviour fro all music players was to remember last song played? Not to start at first of playlist everytime you start the program.

I have resume playback plugin running, but that only works if the music is playing when I close exaile.

What Andrew commented is now implemented in Exaile 0.3.0 alpha3. If the playback has been stopped, it will start on the song it has been stopped at.

May the developers state whether the original bug will be fixed or marked as wontfix ? I personally think the current behaviour is ok. It may be confusing the first time but i think it makes more sense as it is now.
