Note my use of the word "accidentally". My point being that it's a fairly vulnerable point of "failure", which is currently minorly catastrophic if you are in the middle of a large playlist. Congratulations on your care if you haven't happened to make the mistake. :) > If you are talking about stopping a playlist, playing a couple of other files and then return to the playlist, that's a lot more complex than just making STOP not kill resume. No doubt - but they do all relate to a similar set of use cases. At least mine. One possible suggestion for the 'bookmarks' idea is to have an automatic bookmark set for every playlist (uniquely identified by its file-path-name) when STOP is pressed during a played playlist. Then, later, somehow that bookmark is accessed, perhaps like - you 'play' the playlist, and if the bookmark exists, it asks to resume - or, there's a folder of bookmarks, with links to the bookmarked playlists, where when you play from that location, it resumes. Just some ideas. I wonder what the most common use cases are for Jukebox listening? I typically listen to pre-shuffled playlists of some kind - either 'all', or a genre-oriented one, or an artist-oriented one. But given varying moods over a span of days, I'd like to shift from one to another as I feel like it. I'd be surprised if this were idiosyncratic usage... -- Vincent KargatisReceived on 2002-09-08 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
