Hi Guernsey Zoo. It might be possible, but right now the App shuts down after 15minutes of doing nothing, so I couldn't observe if the headphones are plugged in (right now). Also I'm not sure, if that would give unwanted sideeffects for most people, when the music just started playing again when you just plug in headphones (because maybe you also do it without being in the car). If you really want to have such a feature then maybe your life can be made easier with Apps like: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wormskin.headphones (starts an App when headphones are plugged in) https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bigbangllc.carkit (starts an App only when powered + headphones, maybe a better heuristic for 'in the car again') At least you could easily start OrangeSqueeze or SqueezePlayer automatically and your life could be a little bit more convenient. One more suggestion (and now it might get cool): in the server settings of a player (web-interface -> settings -> player -> SqueezePlayer -> Audio) one can configure different "Power On Resume" modes. One of them is "Pause at Power Off, Resume at Power On". If used correctly, then SqueezePlayer automatically start the last track played when turned on. So what does "used correctly" mean :) ? I tried various things: if I stop SqueezePlayer via it's own "Power Off" button (and then start it again), the music resumes indeed. It also works, if I force quite the Application and then restart it. I does NOT work though, when using the On/Off button in OrangeSqueeze (as this only results in pausing the stream). Does this help us? Maybe: I just read the documentation of the "Tasker" App and it looks like it can also kill an App. So I'd suggest moving the headphones handling completely into the Tasker App. Headphones inserted: start OrangeSqueeze + SqueezePlayer (music will resume) Headphones removed: kill SqueezePlayer (will make the server resume playing on next start). How does this sound - I guess it's worth a try, isn't it? Here the Android platform really shows it's strength as Apps from different authors can cooperate. Not possible on iOS. I hope this solution can get you pretty close to what you want to achieve. At the additional cost of 4.50€ for the Tasker App though. I just realize, that the Tasker App one might even be able to integrate SqueezePlayer+SqueezeCommander (or even the Logitech App) seamlessly already today. With the App one could create a simple icon/widget on the home screen, which just starts both Apps ... wow this gets really cool the more I read about this App. Guess I'll play some more with it on the weekend and the there will be a blog post with my experiences about it. -- bluegaspode Did you know: *'SqueezePlayer' (www.squeezeplayer.com)* will stream all your music to your Android device.
