One very cool feature, IMHO, I've realized with Groups is that I have a very large group (I know Michael, I have too many players ;)) so previously when I tried to start to all these players together, my WiFi network would simply not keep up for large bitrate files (or spotify, seems that off is converted to PCM in my case).
I could set bitrate for one of the members, but then this limit would apply all the time, even when it plays alone, which is not what I want. Now, because a group/virtual player is seen by LMS as a real player, I can set bitrate limit for the virtual player only and LMS will apply such limit only when playing to that group - I can now stream to a very large group if I accept to transcode to lower quality (like 128-256k) and that makes sense at it is really a consequence of the size of group.
