Bug Description

"suspend track in Track Source from re-queue"

I don't know what this means. Can someone explain it so I can rewrite the wording?

It seams that the whole preference pain is good example for non-usability. ;-)
The German translation is also scary.

I am afraid I am to biased from the implementation details to make it real good.

The tooltip explains it a bit more:
"Uncheck , to ignore all played track"

In the config it is called "UseIgnoreTime"

With this checkbox, you can control if a track will be available again for random selection, after it has played the first time.
Unchecked: it will be played never again
Checked: It will be played randomly again, but not before the the "IgnoreTime" = "Suspension period" is over.

I know, this is an old(er) bug but the text still hasn't changed in the master.
Still, I would recommend something like "Do not re-enqueue already played tracks".
Any opinions?
