Whoa!  thanks for all the response  / input / I thoughts:D  I thought 
was on my own this this one,  but  we all see the same use case:   walk
in to a room and and switch the pircoreplayer-radio on  regardless of
how long it's been switched off or unplugged.... exactly like and 'old
fashioned' radio, without having to use ipeng, or a computer.  It is the
lack of this feature that is preventing widespread adoption in my
household :(

Would it be possible to have a radio button on one of the config menus:
"Start automatically playing on boot ON /OFF",
-  followed by a box where i could enter a url for the picoreplayyer to
start playing:  "http://stream-uk1.radioparadise.com:80/mp3-192";
-  or (probably more complicated)  select  one of the favourites  held
on  LMS to start playing on boot?
-  or (even more complicated) use the GPIO to enable push button
switches to  change the favs (just like old fashioned car radios)
