Well, OK (although this is the way many portable music players are
configured). But what about at least opening up with the beginning of
the same track it was playing when it quit. If you have a long
playlist it can be annoying to have to remember and then scroll/search
through it to the point where you left off (especially since that is
the sort of mindless task that computers are ideally suited to). (Or
is it supposed to do this already, and mine is somehow
mis-configured?)
