Hi,

would it be possible to implement the following feature:

If the device is charging and the charging stops,
then the device should automatically pause playing
and go to stand by. If the charging returns the device
should automatically resume playing.

With this feature using an external MP3 player
in a car would be simplified considerably because
manual pausing/resuming when stopping/starting the car
won't be necessary any more.

Thx for your help
Thomas

saratoga:
Already implemented.   See "car adapter" mode in the manual.

tackerhifi:
Thanks for the quick answer but feature
seems not to be implemented for all modells
e.g. can't find it in the manual for IPod Nano 2G.

saratoga:
I wonder if thats a bug in the manual.  Can you check on your player?

tackerhifi:

The manual of e.g. SanDisk Sansa Clip+ states for "Car adapter":
"Once the player is shut off either manually, or automatically with the Idle Poweroff function, it must be powered up manually to resume playback."
So this not exactly the feature I asked for.

Might it be possible to also switch the device on and resume playing when charging starts again?

Regards,
Thomas
