Annie,

I would ask you to consider, I'm not saying that it is a bad feature, just that 
it would have been nice if they'd have told us, and given a little warning the 
first time you started the App.

If you are playing more than one zone in group mode, and the zone you are in is 
fixed volume output, the other not, you may not be aware, as I was not, that 
you were turning up the volume of that other zone.
