The "pause" button now seems to be just a "mute" button.  Hitting "play" just resumes the live stream, there is no pause whatsoever. Can we have "pause" back, please?

I'd like to bring this topic back up. Lately (last month or so), I can't be paused for more than about 5 minutes before the web player jumps ahead to sync with the live stream when I hit play.

This is causing me problems at work - if I have to go to the bathroom, but Bill's got a great run of songs going, then my FOMO tells me to stay put, lest a co-worker delay my return and I miss out on the rest of Bill's sequence.

What controls the amount of time, after a pause,  that the website player will resume where it was when you hit play, vs jump ahead to the live stream? It used to be at least half an hour, sometimes more than an hour - but now it's about five minutes.

Yes, I'm not sure if it always does it - or for how long, but I notice it when it resumes on a song which I deliberately stopped.

I think that's the intended behavior but it doesn't always work. Usually when the time paused is longer, I think, but now I'm going to pay attention.

If using the browser-based version, when I listen to a song then turn off the stream, the stream will continue where I previously left of when I hit the 'play' button again, unless I use the "sync" command.  I don't know how that works with other devices or stream types.

This hasn't become an annoyance for me, yet, but it is sometimes frustrating. Other times I see bands I'm prepared to skip once I hit play, and end up not having to...

What controls whether or not a paused stream resumes, or jumps to the current "live" song? I hate when I pause, then come back from a meeting, check the playlist and see a nice stretch of music I really want to hear coming up, click play, and the stream jumps past them to the current song. This is with the website player. Sometimes I can be several hours behind the current song, and sometimes it jumps ahead on me much sooner.

What can I do to prevent the stream from jumping ahead to the current song? It really bugs me to see I've missed some of my favorite RP songs!
