Rhythmbox is not a portable music player, it's either inspired by iTunes, and iTunes typically doesn't remember things such as the "playing state" or what song was selected. What you want is a suspend / resume functionality, like on a laptop. > But what about at least opening up with the beginning of > the same track it was playing when it quit.

However, I checked and Rhythmbox saves at least two things in the session information: - what "source" is selected (ie whether you had your library, your ipod, or a playlist open...), - what search string you typed. I think it's a fair compromise of things to save. Regards, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Neutral President: I have no strong feelings one way or the other."
