#46 A-B repeat feature

[Taras I.]

Hi Thomas!

Here's one more idea/feature request - in case you find it useful.

Is it possible to add A -> B repeat function inside a song (aka phrase looping - for musicians/guitarists)? I know, that when launched as 'mpg123 -C', there's a [p] key, that loops around current position (pause) - the idea is to extend it's fuction to set A and B marks and loop a phrase between them (not just 0.5 seconds, but some longer piece looping).

First key press sets A mark.
Second key press sets B mark + jumps to A and starts looping (A-B) infinitely.
Third key press turns off A-B loop, and just plays a song further.

Thanks!

This indeed sounds like a useful idea. Some state machine code in term.c should be able to handle this...
