I think the use case many people are thinking of is a party. In this case, what you want is for your guests to be able to come up, browse through your music, find something they like, and add it to the queue. Removing things from the queue makes this easier in the following ways: - guests can easily see what it still left to be played without looking through both the queue and some kind of "recently played" list (could get around this by, say, greying out items in the queue that have already been played, but that's not obvious) - it is easy to tell (at a glance) when the queue is almost empty and somebody should add more songs to it. However, there are other ways of accomplishing these goals; greying out or striking out already-played entries, for example. I just think that if you're going to do something like that, you might as well remove them altogether to avoid clutter and confusion.
