I love this software, but find it frustrating that if i want to listen to an mp3 or ogg I cannot.  If i touch the mouse or keyboard it restarts the timer...

I'm not sure how you might tacke this...

maybe an optional dialog that would ask the user if they wish to exempt the input from restarting the timer. something that would allow users to select a new radio station or podcast while they are doing other things in the office or in their home.

just an idea. :)

Thank you.

I am a bit confused as to what exactly you are requested. Most requests like yours are from people that still want to operate their mp3 player or podcast or internet radio while a break window is being shown (which is blocking all user input)

Your request seems to not start the timer (i.e. to not consider you active) while using the MP3 player. What this basically would mean is that you could use the mp3 player continuously for a very long time without ever being asked to break.

Do I understand your request correctly? If so, what exactly would be the benefit from implementing this (aside from being able to see the beautiful green bars in the status window)?

Thanks for your clarification!
