I am still using a SLIMP3 and finding it and Logitech Media Server are still almost adequate for my needs.
I listen to a lot of long MP3 files: podcasts and radio recordings. I want to request two features specific to non-music audio files, that would improve the listening experience. They don't apply to the core function of listening to music but I hope that if added they can live alongside that function.
I want to make it clear that I don't use the built-in Podcast plug-in, preferring to play files back from my hard drive over streaming.
1. Web interface: Add a timecode display to the status page when hovering over the progress-bar with mouse
This would function the same way as a flash interface like YouTube and make finding your place within a long file much easier. Currently it's all guesswork, clicking until you find a rough position to start from
2. Add a playback resume function for all media played on LMS
This would make local podcast and long audio file listening much easier, so that users can stop and come back to a programme where they left off.
Perhaps a set of commands/button presses could be defined separate from the "Stop" command, to differentiate between stopping music playback and leaving off listening to a radio programme or podcast.
