This is a slightly different situation that what we've discussed. Previously, I understood it to be merely saving playlist positions so that they can be restored later. But now this is described as a case of hardening Emms against an Emacs crash. Therefore, what you are describing sounds more similar to Emacs' auto-save feature. What that be a good way of describing it? -- "Cut your own wood and it will warm you twice"
