[Q] Music Player Aggravation

---

Get ready for yet another post where I sound like a grumpy old man (hint: it's because I am).

I listen to a lot of audiobooks. I loaded my current book onto my Shift running MikShifted-G and started listening to my latest book. I love the music thing on the lock screen. But what frustrates me is that sometimes (ok, all the time) when I stop in the middle of a track, when I go to resume later, it restarts the track. My guess is that either this is a quirk of the music player, in which case I don't know if it's a Sense issue or a MikShifted-G issue, or if it's the task manager that's included in MSG killing my music app and resetting that. I can't figure out any way in that task manager to tell it not to kill things. I'm thinking about just removing that, since I've never really felt a strong need for a task manager app.

Any good advice?

I use PowerAmp and it has an option to keep it in memory. I use WidgetLocker with the PowerAmp widget and there some hiccups but they're minimal, mostly to do with opening the app after pressing on the widget. Not sure about the task killer, I think I've read that ROMs based on 2.3 use an aggressive policy on apps in memory.
