his tireless work on LMS.

Thanks, I've programmed my pre-restore batch file to back-up both prefs

It's OK; ignore my last post (stop svc from cmd line). After some

On a related matter, so I can automate the backing-up of LMS 'current'
data prior to an image-restore, what command-line command would shut
down the LMS prior to copying the dynamic data? Would I need to program
a delay to allow time for LMS to stop?

Thanks for this initial info. Is it the '*cache*' folder I need to

Yes, I too had concluded that the sleep function, even for 'at end of

But no, just adding a second would not be a

No, that does nothing doesn't start play again, and doesn't even move

MR,
Sorry for my lack of clarity (and your unfamiliarity with the feature
I'm talking about) it is '*Sleep*' at end of song, not pause. So it
can't be 'un-paused', but playing has to
