No more with A2Stream 1.2! Now you can press the keys '1' to '9' to fast-forward 1 to 9 minutes with roughly 20x playback speed :-)
For these larger files, what would be nice is if you could stop at any
point, and it would save a small file that held the URL for the stream,
and where you were in it when you stopped. Then if you went to that same stream again, it would ask if you wanted to start over, or continue from where you left off.
The only problem I can see is that unlike with the IIgs, you do not have
a convenient place where you can store such a file on the Apple ][.
As you pretty surely imagine, I already had that idea ;-)
I presume, you are not aware, that A2Stream already saves the URLs entered
by the user in a file for re-use on a subsequent run. Of course, I can't judge if you consider my place a convenient place.
However, I see more than enough other problems. Two of them:
1.) A2Stream has no idea whatsoever, where in a stream it currently is.
2.) A2Stream does HTTP 1.0, but byte ranges are part of HTTP 1.1.
Anyhow, thanks for thinking about A2Stream,

I had a pretty good idea you would have. :-)
Anyhow, thanks for thinking about A2Stream,
I have watched the demo, and am very impressed at what it can do...

Hi,Originally, the use case I saw for A2Stream were 3 to 4 minute songs.However, with making all episodes of Open Apple available availablefor A2Stream (https://a2retro.de/oa/), that has changed a tiny bit ;-)The episodes come in chunks of up to 75minutes. So if you didn't wantor just couldn't listen to an episode in one go, it became ratherinconvenient that A2Stream didn't allow any control beyond pausing theplayback.No more with A2Stream 1.2! Now you can press the keys '1' to '9' tofast-forward
