When Media Server is running, JRiver should close to tray and not stop audio playback when you do it.

This beavior is usefull also for JRiver WDM driver. If I close MC, WDM driver stops to work.

For a flawless use of WDM driver, MC has to auto start minimized to tray and the close button has to minimize MC to tray.

Indeed.
It would also be preferable to have a mode which keeps the WDM driver always-active too, since it often gets stuck in an "Opening..." state that never recovers without manual intervention. (fixing that bug would also be nice)

I have hope that they will come around to the idea that it should be difficult to "kill" playback when you're using JRiver as a media server, and not just a media player.
It should close to tray, and that should not stop media playback.
The only way to kill playback should be to have it in the context menu of the tray icon, and it should ask for confirmation before exiting.

I have generally got used to this but my family would agree the current behaviour is surprising. Close to tray seems pretty common behaviour in a player app to me btw
