Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2005 22:17:32 -0500 Tonight I took my JBR apart to attach a belt clip to the back of the case. (I'm using an old Nextel heavy duty metal clip) I had the batteries out and the thing halfway apart when I recalled that I'd forgotten to put down a bookmark in the book I was listening to. I semi-panicked since I could not remember where I was in the book. Then I remembered from RTFSC. You clever programmers stash the RESUME data in the real time clock chip's memory. CLEVER. Independently battery backed. After I got the case back together and the batteries in, I pressed ON and resumed right where I left off. I just thought I'd take the occasion to say again, Well Done, Guys. Thanks so much for what has become my constant companion - Rockbox and the JBR. ---------- Now a question unrelated to RockBox. I wear headphones constantly when I'm working. I seem to snag the cord constantly. Even when I run the cord down through my shirt, the loop to the player still gets caught. Since I'm constantly on the move, that happens a lot. I've had to re-solder the headphone jack a couple of times now and I'm afraid the jack is getting a little worse for wear. Not to mention pulling the cord out of the plug on 3 sets of PortaPros now. What I'm wondering is, is there an audio equivalent of the plug saver, a short male/female cord that could be attached to the JBR, perhaps with a small clamp, and then the 'phones plugged into the cord? I've googled all over and I find plug savers for line power outlets, DB9, DB25 and other assorted computer connectors but no min stereo jacks. I thought about making one but I doubt that I could make as compact assembly as is possible with molded rubber. Has anyone ever seen such a critter? If so, where?
