Stop/pause after each track? Resume after auto shutdown?
Graviton:
Hi! Dear Forum!
I was very enthusiastic about the many possibilities of Rockbox, when I saw it on my friend's player. So I bought a Sansa Clip+, but have some very annoying problems:
Am I just too silly to find the options (I tried "everyting"), or are the following options really not possible (I'm a bit surprised, because I regard them as pretty basic compared to all the advanced options available by rockbox):
1.) Is it really not possible to pause/stop playback after each single track??? (Really annoying when listening to audio books, falling asleep and having no good sleep as the player keeps on playing the whole directory... ;| And also not nice to search for the position you last listened to.)
2.) After auto shutdown (after several minutes of idle) there is no resume!? And no possibility to create a bookmark?? Really annoying when you have to search through all your audiobook folders after an auto shutdown.
3.) I set the buttons to rewind instead of skip tracks. So far so good. But when you get to the _beginning_ of a track it is not possible to rewind further into the previous track?? Either you skip to the beginning of the previous track, or (wen setting the option "no track skip") it is not possible at all to jump back into the previous track.
Any help whether I'm just too stupid to find the right combination of settings? :| My old Cowon iAudio G3 was able to do the things above without any problem :|
Thanks (and sorry for my bad English)!
Yours, Florian

If you want your sleep timer to be persistent (and you feel up to applying a patch), a few of us have put together a modification for this;

If you only want to play one track at a time, make a playlist with just one track in it. There's no need for an automatic stop feature...

It should save the autoresume position during idle poweroff, and if you have bookmark on stop enabled it should create a bookmark as well. Works for me.

Rewinding past the beginning of tracks is not implemented, no.

In the following situation IMHO an automatic stop is very nice (I really loved this feature of my old iAudio G3):
When listening to audio books with short tracks at night:
1.) I listen to a short track.
2.) After the track finishd, playback is stopped.
3.) If I already fell asleep, the player automatically shuts down (after 2 min) with autoresume. -> Very easy to find, where to continue next time!
4.) If I did not fall asleep yet, I click 'Play' for next title.
I prefer this very much over a sleep timer: With low values of the sleep timer, it often shuts down when you don't want it to do so. With high values, it is harder to find where one fell asleep during an audiobook when you want to continue the next day.
Yours, Florian

This doesn't seem to work in the following situation:
a) all tracks in one folder played
b) playback stops
c) player automatically shuts down
=> no auto resume. If I had pressed "Play" between point b) and c), I would have jumped into the next folder; but the information where I was in the folder tree is lost after shutting down. (Maybe I am spoiled? due to my old iAudio player, which was really perfect for audiobook lovers ;-| )

I didn't suggest using the sleep timer. Just add the first track to the playlist, so that the playlist contains only one file. It will play. Once it's done, add the second track. It will play. etc. No need to use a timer.

If playback has stopped there is no current playback position, thus there is nothing to save.
