Just to confirm your suspicions, TrackStat and also peterw's PlayLog
plugin keeps track of the history of played tracks but none of them
keep track of the history of played playlists as far as I know.
Theoretically, it would be possible to create a list of the playlists
which the songs played is part of based on the TrackStat data, but
since a song can be part of multiple playlists I suspect this isn't
exactly what you want.
Another question is if it's important to keep track of how the playlist
looked like when it was played or if it's only important to keep track
of which playlist that was played while its content would be the latest
version of the playlist ?
For example, if I have "Playlist 1", play it and then a bit later add a
new track to it and play it again. Do you only need this to be
represented as if "Playlist 1" has been played twice or do you also
need to see how it looked like each time it was played for it to be
useful ?
A third question, what about the scenario where you play "Playlist 1",
stop the music and do something else and then later play "Playlist 1"
again, should this be represented as two entries in the history or just
a single entry ?
