I still don't quite grok this plugin (haven't installed it yet). It
allows you to create "bookmarks" inside of a song and to jump from one
point to the other, right?
the Bookmark plugin is a way to save the current track with its current
time index intact. Mainly, this is for long audio books that you may
not play all in one sitting.
The Song Scanner plugin uses the BAR type input feedback, splitting the
current song into 100 parts so that you can have a very obvious UI
while you skip forward or backward to the specific place you want to
jump to in the playback.
Very cool. Now... if only you could save these
"bookmarked" start/stop times on a track by track basis, you'd have a
very
clever solution to Bug#731
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731) while leveraging the
existing UI.
The way the bookmark plugin stores the time index would be prohibitive
to store track by track. If the desire was to mark a start and stop
for just the current track, and loop it (for something like learning a
phrase of a guitar solo), the scanner plugin might not need too much
work. however, I'm given the impression that this is not what that bug
is after, nor does it seem like a plugin would be accepted as a
solution.
