Well, thanks Kev, it seems you were right. The volume increase only
affected players which were linked to Spotify Connect. Removing the link
seems to have cured the problem and as I don't use Connect too much then
it won't be too much of a hardship to do without.

I do, yes. I will disable and test to see if that is causing the issue.

My prefs file is showing volume values of 76 for a number of players.
Amending and saving does not help the problem, neither does deleting the
file and letting LMS recreate one. I am reluctant to have to do this but
wonder if a compete reinstall is the only solution?
Steve
I did, yes but sadly it hasn't touched the problem. Sometimes the jump
in volume is immediately after a server restart, sometimes there is a
delay. It's very disconcerting!

Still struggling with this issue. The volume keeps increasing to 76 of
its own accord. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this or how
to track this down? It's distressing for Mrs Shozzer when she presses
her favourite presets on her radio and gets blasted out - particularly
It may need a full rescan rather than just a new and changed media files

When were the appended tracks added? I have noticed that if I add a
track in the closing few seconds of the track that is playing the
appended track doesn't start automatically. Other than that I don't
experience this issue.

There is probably an easy answer to my problem which I have overlooked

which have not been played before? It seems that Play Count is only

minutes. My system does a full rescan every night and I see that last
