Ok thanks for explaining that in detail. I fully agree. If someone wants to isolate it than it should not be overwritten by someone else. Would it be possible to add an option of behavior? I mean the standard could be what is already implemented the other one would be to force overwrite it again. For example if you name the Group "PartyMode" it would be a kind of reset to play the same Music in all rooms. (Just as an example). Of course I do not know how complicated this is - if not - it would be wonderful to have such an option on a group level. > > I'm not fully sure I follow the use case, but I think it's as described > before.

We have PlayerA, PlayerB and Test (which includes PlayerA and PlayerB) (Screenshot 1) 1) Start to Play Music on test: as expected both Players are grouped in Test (Screenshot 2) 2) Start to Pay a different track on PlayerA: As expected the Player is isolated (Screenshot 3) 3) Start to Play another track on PlayerB: As Expected both Players are isolated and Play different Music (Screenshot 4) 4) Start to Play again on Test.... Now the behavior is different...as you can see on the (Screenshot 5) only the PlayerB gets synchronized again. PlayerA still plays as an isolated device. According to your answer above I would expect no reaction cause both Players have been isolated before.
