Hello Stephen,
thanks for sharing and your kind words.
This problem is known and actually an iTunes problem. If you select a
track (be it video or audio), play it and then switch to another
playlist, you'll notice how the pause button transforms into a stop
button.
Sadly, there is nothing Remote Buddy can do about this, as only Apple
can change the way iTunes works.
Best regards,
Felix
