The log file would be more useful to me if a subset of the Playback option only recorded the artist and track name of songs that are played.

This is because I review a lot of new music, along with familiar pieces, and am usually not sitting anywhere near my computer when I'm engaged in this activity. A record of what's been played would be most useful to me.

Logging is for our use debugging.  It's not designed to be something a normal person would want to read.

You might try Last.fm or Computer Audiophile Scrobbling (Options > Services).

Then I'd like to request a different log file provision for users that records the order of what's been played in Media Center.

(I'm playing my own massive collection, not streaming from an outside service.)

Then I'd like to request a different log file provision for users that records the order of what's been played in Media Center.

A file list sorted by [Last Played] won't include multiple plays of the same file during a period, but otherwise includes the same information, is easy to produce on demand, and includes all of the library information for each file. With that in mind, how is a log file likely to be used?

It seems to me, if a log is to be of any use, it would have to be different than a simple per-session file. If MC could maintain a perpetual record of all file plays and skips, with time played vs. duration, client/zone played in, etc., and this log displayed in the UI (so filtering and library data were available), then the idea starts to get interesting.
