Play Songs Like This.
Play similar Songs a great feature.
Sometimes I want to hear/see who is performing a song.
When I go back to beatunes5 I see that briefly then I have to look at the title bar.
My suggestion is an option to following selecting the song in the library as it's being played.
That way the song information would stay on screen.
The second suggestion would be an option to save the session as a playlist at the end of a session.
Cheers and thanks!

Hey Keith,
as a work-around, you might want to install the "Similar Songs Playlist" plugin (see also https://blog.beatunes.com/2017/06/update-beatunes-501.html). It lets you see what's being played. Also, you can copy the tracks to a new playlist.
I know this is not great, but better than nothing.

Thanks Hendrik
Is there a jar file link to download?
Cheers
Keith

When I went to install 1.0.2-SNAPSHOT I saw 1.0.1 was already there.
I should have checked the UI first!
Cheers and thanks!
