It was an idea. Stupid maybe.

That sounds good. I was suggesting the "shutting down in X seconds" might be configurable in terms of X. Nevermind.
Michael7:
I have often thought about this as a feature. What I find is that Im doing stuff around the house with the music going through a set of PC speakers in the kitchen. The phone rings or something else happens for me to pause the music. Usually what reminds me to press play is the sound of the player shutting down. In my case the screen flashing wouldnt help me as I most likely wouldnt see it so a little blast of music before shutdown would work.
Llorean:
Is it so much of a problem to turn it back on in that situation?
Michael7:
No its not a problem, I wanted to give my experience of Rockbox. It will save a little on battery power.
Llorean:
It seems to me pausing is usually for the purpose of "making it quiet", so making a noise after it's been paused too long seems like it'd be a bad idea.
