Erk! Heh, heh. My very first post here. It's a good idea though.   ;D It has a lot of merit.

stranger48:
Absolutely support this idea. When listening audio books it's VERY useful to have a setting allowing user to rewind back.

The idea is to be able to listen to a phrase or sentence that was missed. Especially useful when audiobook consists of many smaller chunks.

In my opinion the algorithm should be as follows

1. User presses and holds <<. Normal rewinding starts
2. Rewinds back until start of the current track
3. Rewinding stops at the 0:00 position
4. If user is still holding << button for at least 2 seconds, player jumps to *the end* of previous track
5. If user is still holding << button for another 2 seconds, player continues rewinding back

I suggest calling this 'Rewind in Audiobook mode' and place in settings.

Any better and cleaner suggestions??

I hope rockbox developers start listening audiobooks soon :)

Stranger48: Although I think this feature would benefit audiobook listeners most, I would love to have this feature present in music, too. Perhaps it could be called "Smart Rewind", instead.

amayer:
this is a great idea.
i like the smart rewind better then audio book rewind.
if a beep was also a setting i could see that being implemented... but not on by default. that would get annoying.
