Additional features for the Mandrake Linux XMMS package. The A-B feature --------------- The A-B feature by Rodrigo Martins de Matos Ventura was found here: http://lists.xmms.org/pipermail/xmms-devel/2002-January/002282.html It was rediffed by Oden Eriksson Tue 18 Nov 2003. Adapted to beep media player 0.9.6 by David Walser Tue, 27 Jan 2004. Adapted to beep media player 0.9.7cvs by Michael Reinsch Sun, 11 Apr 2004. Here's Rodrigos explaination what it is about: "I just did a minor patch to CVS version of xmms, in order to add a small but very useful (at least to me) feature: A-B repetition. My old CD player has it, and it is extremely useful, namely for transcribing music. The idea is simple: anytime during play, you press the "A" key (marks A point), the music keeps playing, when you press the "A" key again (marks B point), it loops endlessly between the two marked points, until the "S" key is pressed (clear), or a new A point is marked. Morover, whenever a A-B range is defined, the "play" button/menu jumps straight to the A position."
