I have a feature request!! But out of compassion for all the work the SCV devas are already doing, it’s (hopefully) only a small one!
Suppose that I want to listen to the first five Linked Discourses. I type in SN 1.1-5
, click on play, and off I go! But after listening to Crossing the Flood, I’d actually like to meditate for a bit on the sutta instead of immediately continuing to Liberation. Of course, I could simply pause SCV. But I wonder, would it be doable to make a setting so that there is a configurable interval of silence between the suttas? For example, if I choose 2 minutes, then after every sutta there will be two minutes of silence before the next one begins. This way it is possible to do some “sutta meditation”!
Perhaps as an initial feature (which doesn’t require changing the settings menu!), users can simply type SN 1.1-5, s=2:00
in the search field. SuttaCentral Voice will recognize s=
as setting the “silence paramter” to some value in hh:mm:ss (hours : minutes : seconds).
I think the “silence feature” would work especially well if and when SCV allows users to make personal sutta playlists.
With much mettā
