IMHO > that's a fairly rare case not worth the code and confusion. Actually, I do this quite regularly. I have a directory that contains a large number of radio programs (think podcasts here). I choose one to play, and may not finish listening to that episode before switching the player off. Next time I start up, I want to resume from where I left off. Now if I re-sync the player with the computer between listening sessions, there's a good chance that some files will have been deleted and others added to that directory, making the resume pick up the wrong file. To get round this, I try to only re-sync when I know I've been listening to music rather than podcasts at the last session, but this is hit and miss, and needs me to be organised - not always easy ;-) -- Mike HoldenReceived on 2011-03-07 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
