Sansa Fuze: Separate audiobook dealing

(1/2) > >>

Xbertl:
Hello,

I think it would be good if the dealing with audiobook is separated from the normal playback.
For example it sucks if you forgot to deactivate Shuffle when you listen to a audiobook.

AlexP:
Audiobooks are just an audio file, same as anything else.  Why should they get special handling?

Xbertl:
Like in the original firmware.
You drop the audiobook files in a seperate folder and now the software knows that it is an audiobook.
And you have a seperate audiobook menu item in the database of the original firmware where  the files from the audiobook folder are listed

Since Rockbox already has a file browser, if you put all your audio books in an audiobooks folder, then you can view them from there.

AlexP:
Or set the genre tag and use the database to do the same thing.
