RE: Re: A Suggestion for the next Upgrade

[Marilyn & Larry Dorn]

I am wondering what kind of tags or whatever WinAmp uses to jump ahead when 
playing an MP3 file.  They have the arrow that jumps about 5 seconds as 
well as the Jump feature that allows you to enter the time elapsed for the 
spot in the song to where you want to jump.  Is there a way to do it the 
same way?  Maybe there's even a way to jump a percentage of a file instead 
of minutes.  Could you jump ahead to the 50 or 90 percent elapsed spot in a 
file?

TTFN,
Marilyn

Hi all:
I think Andrew gets to the heart of the matter here.  Really, from a 
technical standpoint, how realistic is it to think that the PTR1 could 
access time increments in MP3s or cda files?

Maybe I'm not technical enough to wrap my head around how this is 
achievable. I ask this in all sincerity.  What "tags" are there in MP3s or 
cda files that the PTR1 could even hang its hat on for processing?

What kind of processing power are we talking about here to have the 
functionality to get at all this data?

It's nice to dream, but I can't see how this idea is really possible.
Best,
Jennifer

Hi,
The time shifting function is readily available in DAISY titles due to the
XML markers in the files.  Doing this on any other type of media without XML
markup would take considerably longer, and would also not be as accurate.
However, I would also love to see if we could get this implemented.
Andrew.
