As a user of the Raspberry Sound Board, I want to be able to see the upcoming cues in order to better prepare my mind for the daunting task of pushing buttons at the right time.

Currently, when playing through the list, the list selection will scroll down item by item, making it tricky to see what cues are next. Granted, this is only really a problem if the sound person hasn't memorized the show order.

As a user of the sound board, I want to be notified as soon as possible if there is something wrong with my cue list in order to troubleshoot problems before showtime. Checking the logs or listening for the default sound isn't intuitive enough.

To that end, the application should show some sort of alert box or big red warning when a track specified in the cue list does not exist.

As a person who is curious as to what artists were making music during the show, I would like to see a list of the musical artists who contributed to the show in order to sate my curiosity.

Cool idea: for each track in the cue_list.csv, extract its Artist and Title metadata and make a new .csv file to hold those.

Currently, the program starts with focus on the Play next cue button. Keyboard events (with the arrows) don't go directly to the main window, so we need a way to (a) always catch keyboard events, even if a button has focus, or (b) automatically de-focus the buttons so that the user doesn't have to tap on dead space before using a keyboard.

Currently, the logic to get the next cue (or previous cue) is all over the place.

We should refactor that.

simple_window.py is a holdover from the prototype days.
We should rename it to be more like RaspberrySoundBoard.py or something.
