Hi,

In case this feature hasn't already been suggested, could the player software reduce the output volume to, say, -30 (or by a certain amount relative to current volume) whenever one fast forwards or rewinds through a track? The process of fast forwarding is very harsh to listen to I find, especially with certain music at higher than low volumes.

Commercial CD players employ this trick I think.


Thanks,

Mmm.. in the interim, you can probably implement this feature yourself using Hijack's IR translate functions, having them issue a HUSH (or mute) when the FF/REW are pressed, and the correspondiing un-hush/mute on release of the FF/REW.

Hi,

I can't get it working. I'm trying this:

Left.L=Hush,Left.L,Hush
Right.L=Hush,Right.L,Hush

When I try ffwd through a track, it hushes but does nothing. When I release the button it then starts ffwd'ing but does not stop until I interrupt it with, say, pause. Once interrupted it unhushes.

Is there a way to bind translations to actual up's and down's of keypresses? Can't see this in the FAQ.


Thanks,
Aragon
