[OSM-talk] Continuous audio in JOSM on tracks without waypoints

[80n]

David
I gave it a try today.  The results were excellent.

I have some feedback:
1) I found synchronising to be a bit tricky the first time you do it.  This
wasn't helped by the fact that I had 20 minutes of tracks before I started
the audio recorder.  I've updated the wiki with what I hope are clearer and
better instructions.

2) While audio is playing, when I clicked on an audio marker it caused JOSM
to hang.

3) The Open dialog for audio files does not appear to remember the last
place that was used. Other open dialogs in JOSM do.

4) It would be nice to have keyboard shortcuts for Forward and Backwards.

5) It would be nice to hide the audio markers without also hiding the orange
cursor.  I don't use waypoints and found that using the orange cursor and
the forward and backward buttons was all that I needed most of the time.

6) Lastly, it would be really nice if it was possible to play the audio at
varying speeds. For long roads if I've made occasionals marks I don't really
want to listen to the whole recording in real time, but there's not really
any way of knowing where the next one will be without listening to the whole
recording.  Variable play speed would help with this.

Overall I really like it :)
