I like the artwork that is created for missing artwork. I have several live albums that don't have artwork. In SC they all appear with the missing artwork image, but in Muso, it creates an image that contains the aritst/album name text in it. ___ plu

I always get confused with Syncing, whether using this plugin or SC's default sync option. I can never remember if the playlist on this player or the player that I pick to sync with will be the one that continues. Half the time I get it wrong and sync the wrong way round. It would be nice to

At the moment, I have manually configured WOSB to fire a couple of minutes before my morning alarm clock time, to ensure SC is awake. I was thinking that this may not be necessary now, because I can configure a Boom player to fire an alarm at the same time, which will send a WOL packet, so I do
