I've had a couple of threads about my search for a usable mp3 player.
I'm referred to applications whose origin relate to listening to music
for entertainment.
Yes media players like Audacious and VLC *can* play lectures but *their*
original purpose is music.
The general response received is:
Why would music differ from a lecture audio file?
A simple search on audio players in Linux should be adequate.
Why would music differ from a lecture audio file?
That's not even based on an "apples to oranges" comparison.
It's more an "apple to Sherman tank" comparison.
Such mp3 players appear focused on a couple of hours of listening to
musical pieces each a few minutes long, perhaps by several artists.
I currently have a set of seven lectures on one general topic by one
speaker, occupying approximately nine hours. As the purpose of these
lectures is to convey knowledge I'd like to be able to take notes with
automatically generated time stamps so I could go back to the same point
of that lecture for review/clarification. I've some general ideas on how
VLC could be *coerced* to provide that. BUT it wasn't intended to do so.
I'm looking for an mp3 player intended to convey information not
background entertainment.
Grok?
TIA
