I was actually a bit surprised when I noticed that RockBox won't rewind across tracks. A must-have feature!

I'd call it something like "Seamless rewind" rather than "Smart Rewind" as that name doesn't really provide any clue what the feature does.

Probably parts of playback.c.  I'd start by looking at how the current rewind code works.

That's a good name for it.

When I hit reply, The forum software warned me this is an old thread...please consider starting a new topic.  I know people don't like to have old threads resurrected, but it didn't seem right to start a new one.

There seemed to be so much support for this idea when first brought up, did anything ever come of it? Any patches?  Rewinding across tracks is the one thing I prefer about my player's OF.

Original post-
  Can we have a feature (optional?) that allows rewinding across tracks? I use Rockbox almost exclusively for listening to audiobooks when driving, walking, etc. When the inevitable distraction occurs, or when restarting after a break, it is often necessary to rewind 10, 20, or more seconds to catch the thread of the narrative. In the current version of Rockbox, if the break happens to be in the first 10-20 seconds of a track, one cannot rewind through the desired time span. So then it is necessary to skip to the beginning of the previous track and then either listen or fast forward through the whole track (which may be several minutes long) to catch the last 10 seconds. Perhaps there could be an option to let the rewind function simply ignore track boundaries?

This is a good idea, has anyone made any progress? Seamless rewinding is a good name, but fluid rewinding is as well. Or maybe fluid audiobook rewinding, or just 'fluid rewind'. Though seamless audiobook rewinding is good too.Then you can choose the options of having it 'enabled' or 'disabled'.

I've implemented it quite some time ago but forgot to properly announce it. So, if anyone still waits for it it's available in the latest daily build (and will be present in Rockbox 4.0 when released).

With setting Settings -> Playback Settings -> Rewind Across Tracks set to Yes:
1) Pressing Rewind within the first 3 seconds of the track will lead to rewind from the end of the previous track.
2) With Playback Settings -> Skip Length set to time interval instead of "Skip Track", pressing Prev button within the first 3 seconds of the track will lead to skipping length from the end of the previous track.
