There is a patch (FS#10343 - Resume playback even if it reached

How about a confirmation screen when trying to play a finished
playlist?
It seems like the ideal solution to me. No automatic buffering,
still
being able to get the information about whether you finished
listening
before you turned of your player last time, and have the possibility
to
restart the playback of that playlist (what the patch aims for).
"Restart finished playlist?" yes/no.
I don't get this?
The driver for this patch appears to be a "spurious" (to some)
splash message "Nothing to resume". How is adding a confirmation
dialog any better? Surely it's worse, as it's a splash with required
response?
Yes but due to the response we can keep the current behavior if you
answer no, and get the proposed new behavior with the answer yes. And
the ability to choose one of the behavior in each instance of the patch.
On another note, for users of flash based targets the additional
buffering isn't bad. I, for one, would appreciate music playing while
browsing to the album I really want to listen to (being on a flash target).
Best regards.
