If you're going to talk to someone, the natural action would be to pull the buds out of your ear, rather than pull the lead out. This is why John's idea is different to (and probably better than) Apple's implementation (which is great).
It would even work for giving someone else the buds to hear a song you're listening to. Pauses while you hand them over.
- miguelpais 16y agoYeah, but I can't think of two similar actions where it would be difficult to define the expected behavior: sometimes you just take one bud out momentarily to be able to listen to something external and you don't really want the music to stop. The other one is common in teens, when they share one bud with a friend to listen to some track together and the music should be stopped while that bud is not put.
- bruceboughton 16y agoBoth are solved by only pausing when both buds are removed (which is the most polite thing to do anyway).
