Hello,

It\'s a nice player - sometimes crashes, but that\'s another topic.

What I would like to tell about, is an idea of a a feature that just crossed my mind...

Ok, here it goes: let\'s say I am listening to a radio show, which is an mp3 (a podcast, to be exact). It\'s quite long - about 30 minutes or so... Anyway... I am listening to it and somewhere in the middle of that, I suddenly feel like I need to have a cigarette (bad habit, I know). I need to go to another room and since I can\'t really hear all the talk from the radio show there - I still would like to put on some music, while I smoke. I had just put the radio show on \"pause\", because I really want to continue listening to it, when I get back... I add some other mp3\'s to the playlist with some music - and everything is nice - I hear music and I can go to the other room.

But what happens when I get back? I select the podcast again, but... Oh No! I will have to spend about a minute scrolling the radioshow and looking up the spot where I paused it... Damn!... should have remembered the exact time of the pause! Silly me...

And then I get the idea of a feature - how about a \"pause\" option, that would pause one media file and remember the pause position, until it get\'s unpaused... and at the same time, other mp3\'s would still be playable... To think wild - even the shuffling could honor the pause option and make sure that this mp3 would not get played until manually unpaused! Wouldn\'t that be great?

So, I said it... Just a dream...

Thank you for the attention, Keep up the good work.

I\'m not sure about your idea of implementation, though its interesting. But I agree, I listen to a 1.5 hour radio show every weekday, so I can see that there needs to be some way to stop and come back to the same position in a track automatically.

I\'m thinking more of this being implemented like a bookmarking feature, that has other uses as well.

I agree, this sounds like a typical bookmark thing and this should be easy to implement I guess.

iTunes does this and it\'s a really good feature, basically it just remembers where you stopped listening to a podcast (note, they only use this feature for podcasts which makes sense I think). The next time you play it automatically starts from where you left off.

I really would like to see this feature in the next amarok-release.
Will this bookmark option be implemented in Amarok 1.4?

Ok, I'll agree with this. This is how podcasts should work, regardless of an additional bookmarking feature.

Cool!
1,4 can pause podcasts
You folks are so cooooool...
Thanks

Oh No I was wrong! Amarok cannot pause/resume Procast
Man! It would have to good...Or am I wrong (again?)

Depends on the server. Some servers will time out, others won't.
