When I hit reply, The forum software warned me this is an old thread...please consider starting a new topic. I know people don't like to have old threads resurrected, but it didn't seem right to start a new one.
There seemed to be so much support for this idea when first brought up, did anything ever come of it? Any patches? Rewinding across tracks is the one thing I prefer about my player's OF.
Original post-
Can we have a feature (optional?) that allows rewinding across tracks? I use Rockbox almost exclusively for listening to audiobooks when driving, walking, etc. When the inevitable distraction occurs, or when restarting after a break, it is often necessary to rewind 10, 20, or more seconds to catch the thread of the narrative. In the current version of Rockbox, if the break happens to be in the first 10-20 seconds of a track, one cannot rewind through the desired time span. So then it is necessary to skip to the beginning of the previous track and then either listen or fast forward through the whole track (which may be several minutes long) to catch the last 10 seconds. Perhaps there could be an option to let the rewind function simply ignore track boundaries?
