Philippe,

Thank your for replying so quickly! I agree with all comments that this
is mostly personal preference. 

Does the syncing and unsyncing have to be done with pause and play on
the group player? Wouldn’t the most logical and user friendly way to be
this:-

When group player is powered on.. it grabs all players.. this is the
only time this is done. If it’s paused or resumed then it does no more
grabbing. Only powering it on. To unsync group, just turn the group
player off. 

If during the group sync a player is removed by a user by changing its
plylist locally then when that player is turned off (ie, they have
finished with it) the player is reattached to group on power off if the
group player is still turned on. To me that is more seamless than the
current setup. Although I agree 100% that is more preference and setup.


I’d love for the group players to stay in sync permanently whilst the
group player is powered on, rather than break up and re grab at
pause/play. The break up group when group player is powered off. So
simple then, whilst group is powered on, players are grabbed and stay
grabbed (unless locally released by changing playlist on local player). 
Then power off and players are released. 

I hope I have explained that correctly.. 

That above scenario would then stop a player from being grabbed again
when it’s playing something locally if the group is paused then played
again. However once that person is finished with that radio, it’s
turned off and it syncs back into group. If you wish to resync whole
group including the radio that is still locally playing something then
just power off and power on the group player just like you do with
pause/play the current way. That would grab the playing radio again. 

To me that is the simplest and seamless experience. I’m sure there are
reasons this can’t be done or scenarios why its not a good idea, sure I
may have missed something obvious.. 

Reason for group players is to sync players, turn it on and they are
synced and stayed synced. Turn it off and they are back to being
standalone players. Simples. 👍

Thanks for reading and entertaining this!!! 

Cheers!

PS, sorry for repeating it a few times, just trying to explain it a
couple of different ways as to make sense..
