Hotkey to re-start song from beginning

[EvilPeppard]

I did a search and did find any info here on this, so here is my question:

Is there a way to program the hotkeys in MB so when I click the 'back' or 'rewind' multi media key it will restart the current song instead of skipping to the previous song?

Currently in MB, to restart the current song you hit stop, then hit play and the current song will restart from the beginning. What I want to know is how do I restart the current song after it has started playing when I hit the '<<' key? Can I add my own hotkey, or reprogram something?

This works in MediaMonkey, but I would like to do it in MusicBee. According to MediaMonkey, you can 'Set a hotkey for "Playback: Play". It will restart a track that is currently playing. (as opposed to the "Playback: Play/Pause" hotkey)".

I don't see an option to add my own hotkey in MB. I only see that I can edit current hotkeys.

Please let me know how I can do this in MB, or if this could be added as a feature request.

Let me know if I can provide any other information as well. Thank you!

"If you press previous track in the first 20 secs it goes to the previous track. Otherwise to the start of the same track and replays the track."

However, Steven says there was a bug introduced recently, which is fixed by this patch: http://musicbee.niblseed.com/V2_4/MusicBee_Exe_Patched.zip

Hmm, I did not realize that. It seems regardless where the song was at, the previous track would always play when I hit the "<<" button. Perhaps that is due to the bug you mention below, which I will install and see if my issue is resolved.

Thank you for providing this patch, and getting back to me so fast. I sincerely appreciate it!

EDIT: Btw, this statement makes perfect operating sense in controlling tracks in MusicBee:

"If you press previous track in the first 20 secs it goes to the previous track. Otherwise to the start of the same track and replays the track."

Again, thanks for the quick feedback and assistance.

You're welcome, glad to help!

BTW, I applied the patch and the controls now work as stated. Hitting the "<<" button now starts the song over if more than 20 seconds have played, otherwise the previous track is started.
