+1 on this. I have to disable ZoneSwitch to send to various DLNA devices; otherwise, music gets played in my Music zone instead of the DLNA device.
JimH:
We should be able to change that.

I can see a good use for this for me...
Bass management is a problem, some albums are just too bass heavy compared to others. I could set up multiple zones, each with different bass equalization settings, and then create a field that an expression could use to choose the zone, with the proper bass settings I like for that album. Most albums would use my default...
Is this the right way to accomplish this?

Add a Zone field, consider it an override. Use an expression that checks the value of the field in the ZoneSwitch rules. Place the bass zone first, having the rule check for the field; if it exists, play on this zone. Otherwise, don't and ZoneSwitch will skip to check the next possible zone.
BabyFace:
NOT WORKING AT EXPECTED: I set up another zone the same as my "Player" zone called "Guest". I then modified the DSP equalizer settings for Guest. I set ZoneSwitch rules to always use Guest when a certain track name is played.
When I play that track from my PlayingNow playlist, MC does switch to the Guest zone, with that one track in the playingNow playlist, and when that track finishes it does not go back to the original "Player" zone PlayingNow playlist.
Am I misunderstanding how ZoneSwitch works or am I doing something wrong?
And... If I have a track selected in my PlayingNow list, which should switch zones and I double click it to start playback, it does not switch zones. However, if I click the PLAY button instead of double clicking, it does switch zones.
What I'm really looking for is a way to have MC switch to different DSP settings based on an expression. Dynamically switching as tracks are played from a playlist.
