I think it happens because I have four synced players and when I switch on another player by pressing play it queues another track. Not entirely sure, but I think that's what is causing it. It does honor the Dynamic Playlist setting, which mine is set to keep 10 played and 9 upcoming. So it never goes beyond 20 songs in the playlist. Any more than that and I started getting too distracted by the upcoming.

But thanks for adding it to the regular settings, it's much easier to access that way. -- MeSue SUE 1 Touch | 2 Booms | 2 Radios | 1 Duet | 1 SB2 HP MediaSmart EX470 | Logitech Media Server 7.7.1 | iPod Touch & iPad w/ iPeng Find me on 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue) | 'Twitter' (http://twitter.com/suechastain) | 'Rhapsody' (http://www.rhapsody.com/members/mesue) -*Logitech!
