Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2005 23:58:59 +0100 You gotta love slashdot - what an obvious solution to the problem. Tag the individual playlist/directory/file as tape (or "resume") I have this: root +-- _albums +-- artistname The big trouble with this setup and Rockbox is another nasty resume issue that the above would fix. I have several albums under each artist. All tracks are present in the directory. There a N playlists per [artistname]. If I play an album in the car one day. And then, some weeks/months later I go to play a single track to a friend ...I can't ...Pressing play on the track makes the playlist resume. To mark the playlist as resume, but the track as play-once would solve this problem. For people desiring the old style behaviour - tag the directory as resume. Genuis!
