Normally when Empeg is stopped, it remembers the playlist it was playing and its position in it. Anytime I do a sync however, the latest playlist gets erased and when Emma wakes up after the sync, she's trying to play an empty playlist. Is this intended behaviour or a bug?

It is currently intended behaviour but it will change in the future.
