Bug Description
While using AutoDJ, the currently playing track should be highlighted and centered in the track list window. This is helpful when something needs to be done with that track during (or even after) playing, for instance in retrieving metadata for someone who wants more info about the song than the deck display lists. It tends to be difficult to find the playing track in the track list when there are a lot of tracks queued in AutoDJ, and most especially when they've been shuffled.
There are also times that I use AutoDJ for reviewing newly added music, and I'll either:
a) compile a playlist from tracks in the AutoDJ queue on the fly as I hear songs that work for what I want (send to playlist X)
or
b) need to select songs that I don't like for deletion.
In both cases, currently it is difficult to quickly dig out the currently playing track.

I think the issue is worse.
The current playing track is >removed< from the Auto DJ play list.
But .. you will find playing tacks in the history playlist.
The original Idea is hard to do, because a track can be member of a number of play lists and crates.
We might put the track to search box and switch to library view, but this will hide all other tracks.
Any Idea how to control such a feature?
What about allow dragging the track back to a specific library.
I had the idea some times ago when I want to move a track from a deck to a sampler.
Since the track event is already used with the waveforms we might start dragging at the track label.
