7. If LMS is up and running, go to http://vortexbox-ip:9000 in your browser to get the LMS web page.

8. This version of LMS should have the “Don't Stop the Music” option on the LMS>Settings>Player pages.

NOTE: If MusicIP plugin isn't working, just select it on the Settings→Plugins page, restart LMS and do a rescan so that it picks up the songs.

Hat Tips to Forum Members Ron Olsen for Code and Treble101 for testing and finding MusicIP solution.
