Details

Using VBR MP3 on rockbox-h120-20060430.zip on a H140.

If you press and hold the the fast forward control to seek from near the end of one track into the next, it stops when u hit the beginning of the next track until u let go, instead of entering the next track and continuing to seek. When you try the same in with reverse seeking, it stops when u hit the beginning of the current track instead of seeking into the end of the previous track. It just stops until you let go, and then starts play from the beginning of the track.
This task depends upon

I second this request :-)

When listening to long music files, such as live sets, it would be nice to be able to seek from the end of the file and not just from the beginning. This is currently not possible, but with the above feature, it would be.

Third'd but this is not specific to the H100 series...

This is one of the *very few* features I miss from the original iriver firmware.

The rewind into previous track feature from the original Iriver firmware (on Rio Carbon, on Iaudio players) is a necessary feature for listening to AUDIOBOOKS broken into multiple tracks. Often the tracks are broken at mid-word or phrase. If a listener has to review some audio content and he/she has just passed a split point (end of track, start of next track), there is no simple way to review the content because Rockbox stops at the beginning of the current track.

I understand that the current rewind behavior is a feature but two vendors (Iaudio and Rio) noted for their support of audiobooks (bookmarking) have provided this feature. More and more users are listening to audiobooks and PODCASTS on their DAPs and would like to treat content more seamlessly. I would be happy to see this as an additional option under the FF/RW menu selection.

I confirm that a possibility to rewind into previous track would be a very useful feature not only for improperly split tracks. I often miss this function when listening to language lessons or when I hear something interesting close to the track end while listening to music.

For anyone like me who mainly uses rockbox to listen to audio book the feature would be a very useful option.

As I quite often find that I have missing a bit of a book and want to rewind back a few seconds this can be quite frustrating if you find your self wishing to relisten to the last 30 seconds the previous file in my playlist which makes up my audio book finishes.
