Well, I can reproduce the behaviour with unmarked tracks also. It is
because the currently playing track is not marked as "played" before
the new track is selected. Your fix is good. As an alternative, we
could make `bongo-play-random' stop before picking a random track. The
third option is to set the played property for the currently playing
track, but that is a potentially bigger change.
