Trying out version 2:
What works great:
1) Playback and resume work great when there's only one mp3 file in /mnt/music (see below.
Potential issues I discovered:
1) Script works flawlessly when there is only one mp3 file in /mnt/music/ ; the moment > 1 mp3 exists, playback never seems to start.
Here's my wish list:
1) Allow for a separate config file to load whichever internet radio stations without having to configure it in the menu and potentially break things.
2) Allow for a 'skip' or next track functionality so if I don't like what I'm listening to I can listen to the next track.
3) (distant far off hope some day) update bookmark via some kind of open source way so that if I'm listening to an audio book on my android phone / iphone it could remember position across devices. this might be a tall order.
Still trying to figure out the best use of local playback, I think it would be for relaxing background sounds like brown noise, rain, ocean waves to listen to while reading. Music with lyrics is distracting to me.
Again many thanks for what you've done so far. Being able to read without the temptation of my phone and the ability have background music to help me focus better is invaluable.
