I agree that's not ideal, but that's by design so far. Groups are disassembled at pause and restored at resume. I have to re-think about it, but how would I differentiate that you don't want that player to be re-grabbed? - In many cases, you'd want it to be re-grabbed otherwise the only option would be to "stop" the Group it (i.e. to erase it's playlist) and then to re-play it - not very convenient either. And even if you do that, maybe your wife does not want the Kitchen to be re-grabbed if you change your playlist. - Then I could not-grab players that are already playing, but that would defeat a lot the prupose of Groups - The, more complicated, I could mark Group members that are de-sync when pausing and not restore them upon resume. But what shall I do if you change the Group Playlist? Shall I mark the player as well but then how will it re-join the group? - The only option I can think about, while write that, is, when breakin up a Group, I would maker the players that are not synced with it anymore. Then, when reforming that group, members that were marked and *are* playing shall not re-join the group. Unfortunately, that would also make some unhappy users were you have extracted a player yesterday from a group while it was playing. Today, you're paying something on that player, and then you decide to play on the Group ... well, that player will not rejoin :( Not sure you'll remember what you did yesterday. but suggestions welcome :) LMS 7.7, 7.8 and 7.9 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
