I like the idea of having a bit more flexibility with connected devices. I imagine you'd always need one device to be in control at least nominally but it would be nice for that device to be able to allow one or any of the devices to choose a piece which would then load on all devices. I think it might also be useful for the lead device to be able to change pieces just on the lead device without it changing the pieces that are loaded on the follower devices too.
Before we got tablets my quartet used to take turns choosing a piece and I had hoped to be able to do something similar with connected devices. What we've ended up doing is having the lead device on shuffle and then when it goes to a new piece all the players get a chance to say whether they want to play it or not. It's not as efficient but it works.
While I think it would be nice for device connection to be more flexible I doubt it's something that would make a lot of difference to useability for many users. Not nearly as much as, say, versioning.
