This sounds good, except when adding more tracks, only the unplayed remainder of the list should get shuffled in order to avoid playing the same track twice.

Do you mean playing to be continued from that position in the already shuffled list? Assuming that continuous means non-shuffled.

I wouldn't want to duplicate the cover art in a database. It can be fairly large, and if you have lots music, it can grow quite big.

MAFW does if MediaBox was using the unportable MAFW handling of playlists.
It's good enough for the built-in media player, because that only runs on the N900, but MediaBox doesn't use MAFW for handling playlists.
