[ID3 Dev] Suggestion: PAUSE tag

[Jonathan Johnson]

I'd like to suggest is a PAUSE tag: this tag would allow a listener to
stop or pause a file at a convenient point; the player would modify the
PAUSE tag to include the time and offset where the PAUSE or STOP button
was pressed.

Later on, the listener could easily pick up where he left off, even if
the file was transferred to another player. While there may be players
which can keep track of pause information, it is in an internal
database and the pause information cannot be transferred to another
player or device.

Please don't suggest I write a formal proposal: I currently lack the
technical writing ability or even the understanding of ID3v2 tags to
write it properly. I'm simply presenting it here for your
consideration.

Lastly, thanks for the proposal to add chapter tags to ID3v2. It's
something I've long thought has been needed, especially for audiobooks
and other very large speech files.
