Jumping back to the end of the last track

(1/1)

Polarigel:
Hello,

I use Rockbox for listening to audiobooks, coming as small MP3-files. I rather often jump back in the track using the setting "Settings -> Playback Settings -> Skip Lenght: 10 s". When I try to jump back at during the first few seconds of a track, I end up at the beginning of the track before, and not at it's end, where I want to be.

As a workaround I started to merge up to 50 tracks to a large one, but that is time consuming and has a few drawbacks too.

Is it possible to add an option that change the jumping behaviour from "Jump to the start of the last track" to "Jump to the end of the last track"?

Or may be it is already possible and I just didn't find the switch?

A  big thank to the developers- without Rockbox, Sansa Clip would be just useless for listening to audiobooks

I think the best you can do right now is change "skip length" so that it skips to the outro of the track.  Then, skipping to the previous track and then forward again will take you to the end of the desired track.

I was under the impression that the time intervals under "skip length" were added to help facilitate navigation across track boundaries for just this sort of situation, but it doesn't work this way now, so I could be misremembering.

I was under the impression it worked this way also, but..apparently not.
This is the way it *should* work, though (IMO)

Hello,
is it possible to do something about it? To add a function that allows skipping from the start of a track to the end of the previous track?

The most logical thing would probably be to allow FF and REW to cross track boundaries when set to a specific time increment.  Anybody is free to submit a patch that does that.
