Rockbox Development > Feature Ideas

Preview mode for listening

<< < (2/3) > >>

jswetzen:
I could see this as a plugin instead of a setting, though. My idea is that you would start playback and then enter a plugin that will skip every 20 seconds or so. If you dislike a song, there could be an option to delete the currently playing song. There would be no need to set a preview setting or to manually delete each song you dislike, and stopping the review is as easy as exiting the plugin.

bzavala:
Well, we're not talking about deleting the songs with this feature. I just want to have an idea of what the album will be like in a short time.

I will still listen to each song fully (and the whole album for a couple of times) before I decide to delete the songs from the DAP...

Yes, I have fingers and I can manually skip to the next song everytime, but if Rockbox can do it automatically, that would be great.   

Edit: Oh yeah.. and I like previewing the album in the DAP, not in the computer.. that's why I thought about this feature. I believe I once used a plugin like this for winamp...

Again, I agree. Sometimes I listen to new music while doing yardwork/ chores, or while riding my bike. My fingers are occupied then. ;)

(:@):
Here is a plugin (mostly copy & paste), if you know how to compile. Maybe it's buggy, since I don't use it myself.

GodEater:
Why isn't it on the patch tracker ?!?

Patches DO NOT BELONG in the forums!
