Bookmark files on the SD card?
Sirocco:
Better make all the necessary apologies first, since I'm a "newby". If I'm posting in the wrong section, please tell me the correct section - I would appreciate it.
So, regarding my question, is it possible to bookmark files on the SD card (using Rockbox) in my Sansa e280? (i.e., the one I will buy if my question is answered satisfactorily).
michael.conner:
Yes, it works quite nicely.
Sirocco:
Please give me an example of a bookmark for a file on an SD card. I'm interested in seeing the exact info represented in a bookmark.
GodEater:
All a bookmark does is save your current position in an audio track that you were playing. There's not much to give in the way of an example - if I attached one here, all you'd see if the filename, and should you choose to open it, a bunch of binary data that lets Rockbox restart the track at the recorded position.
Sirocco:
That's why I asked to see a sample bookmark. It's important that a bookmark mark not just a file, but a POSITION in a file. For example, the bookmarks made by my Samsung YP-T8 look like [02:15:22 file1name.mp3]. This tells me both the relative and absolute position of the bookmark, since if there were several bookmarks for a file, I want to select the correct one. So if there were another bookmark in the list that was [03:44:05 file1name.mp3], I would know that the one that started with 03:44:05 was the later one. It's always a shame when a bookmark consists of only the file name and not a time stamp too.
But you're saying that the bookmark made by the Rockbox only contains the file name, which means that it doesn't tell me the absolute or relative position of the bookmark, which means that it is useless, and that the bookmark feature of Roxbox is therefore useless. On the other hand, if the bookmark includes the timestamp (i.e., the POSITION in a file), that would be useful, and good news to me.
