I think this is mostly the case. After Squeezelite was shut down and then restarted, LMS lost its connection to the Squeezelite device and I had to reselect it from the list of available devices. Once reselected, LMS did return to the playlist and the specific track that had been playing when Squeezelite shut down. But, the playlist had been reshuffled when the Squeezelite/LMS connection re-established. So, while LMS did come back to the right song and right playlist, the tracks that would be played after that song were different from what would've been played prior to the shutdown/restart and, in some cases, were tracks that had already been heard.
