MIT is so rich that the music library lends out iPods loaded with a bunch of music from the library's collection! Which means, I have finally started listening to music on these devices.
Today I noticed something very interesting: if I remove the headphone from the iPod, it automatically pauses playing. I guess they look for changes in offered impedance as the cue to pause. This can turn out to be useful if the headphones get disconnected mid-sentence while you are listening to an audiobook during your run.
But of course there is a bug. I had connected the iPod to my Sony receiver. Then I moved to my Bose headphones. The iPod paused, but fails to recognize the bose headphone until I restart playing from the main menu. Difference in offered impedance/capacitance/inductance?
