1) Yes, it does not change buttons based on play state. No plans to change that yet.
2) This is a special case where you are not resuming (it starts over from the beginning) and the track does not change, but I will see if we can handle it better.
3) Are you saying this option does not get saved properly? It seems to be working for me.

Hi -
Version 33 will not play my old WMA files. Version 32 plays them just fine. They both play my FLAC files. I set up 33 the same way I have for previous versions and WMA is set to Automatic in File Types. Any suggestions?

The current default appearance violates my basic design rule "buttons which look the same should behave the same" - otherwise they are jarring. So I will try skinning the PNP Controls (particularly the Play button) to look the same as the MC Taskbar Tooltip controls (distinct from my custom Player Bar controls) until things change.

Thanks. From this user's perspective, the special pause case looks like all the other pause or startup cases as described above. So PNP activated by a double click in a Player view tab should certainly be fixed to behave as the other cases to meet user expectations.
Clarifications:
In general, none of the following trigger the PNP: double click the Previous button (rewind track and start over from the beginning), long hold it (fast backwards), grab the progress bar and slide it to a new position. These are logically consistent (all related to positioning) and OK as is.
Re: Double clicking the track listing (rewinds and starts over except not in Player view, or starts playing a new track). I think most people would expect (and prefer?) this double click to trigger the PNP in all views, including Player, even when restarting the currently playing track. However I can see there is some logic in treating Player views differently (i.e. no PNP for restart), though it's kind of subtle and puzzled me at first. I think I might actually prefer the way it is now, particularly when editing lyrics - so maybe an option?

Yes, that's what I am saying.
a) Open the PNP settings, check the box "[ ]Global shortcut... Ctrl+I" and "[x ]" check mark appears.
b) Click "OK" to save the settings.
c) Reopen the PNP settings after clicking on next track. The option is no longer check marked.
Restarting MC before clicking next track did not change matters.
Pause play then play same track did not change matters.

Are you using a "non-admin" Windows user account?

No - it is an admin account.
Also tried explicitly running MC as Administrator. No difference.
Where is this state info stored? Could the location be write-protected or non-existent on my PCs? Would you expect a write fail to show up in the log?
I see same behavior on Win 11 Pro and Win 10 Pro & Home.
