No. Grabbing or sending a playlist from or to another player does not
automatically sync them.
The syncing and unsyncing of two players happens by choosing the
syncing option in the Other Player-menu for the player. Its a menu that

If you grab a playlist can you see in
Kuben, thanks for clearing this up. I see in the settings that the two
