Only as a collection of ideas: Even better if the Org relative timer would not start/stop by user interaction and count the time on its own but if the Org relative timer in this case would "only" just be replaced by reading the current play time from the media player through the same mechanisms that already update the current play time for display in Emacs. Then the note taking time would also stay in sync with fast forward and rewind. Useful e. g. when searching a certain time in a paused audio file that loops in place. And if the point in the note taking buffer would even move up and down - when enabled - when an already taken note is passed by time from fast forward or rewind this would be neat. Michael
