I plan to do things mostly unattended, things I want to listen to are on
when I'm not available. If you found where the tone was to detect it's
frequency, wouldn't you be able to set the md so that when that comes up in
the program to start operating the pause button? Often, there's a slight
pause where national commercials end, and local ones begin, but you'd still
have some commercials, but 10 minutes worth during the breaks sometimes can
be a lot, andd these shows are seeral hours long.
