Jim, I am not trying to ruffle any feathers, and I am not trying to
request any more work of anyone. I simply was confirming that I had seen
and reported what the OP had seen. Back when I tried it, I saw an
unintended use for it, had a "wow cool!" moment until I found the
issues. Like I said before, when I saw it wasn't something that was
"just broke and could be fixed" I just dropped it. I sincerely thought I
was reporting an issue that maybe had been created with a rev to LMS,
but realized that was not the case.

I have a use for something similar. I have a group of starting I select
between in the morning, and a group that I listen to in the afternoon,
especially late afternoon when I am fading a bit. Sometimes a station is
playing something I don't care for, so I switch it. I really like the
presets of, say a boom or a radio for switching station. But that does
not exists in LMS, sat on the material apk on my phone. Since I have my
favorites in a menu structure, I have several taps back and forward to
change the station.

My coding skills have not been used since K&R 'C' (without the ++), but
I have thought about trying to develop a plugin that would allow either
presets, or a favorite that can be a redirection (pointer) to another
favorite. Yes, you can duplicate, but when something changes with the
station (url) you need to change all locations.

Jim
