If you listen to audio books, podcasts, radio shows, extended DJ mixes, or other. MP3 player, you would doubtlessly find it useful to be able. This is especially useful for. Netlibrary or Audible. Incredibly, this very simple and extremely useful feature is a rarity in the world of MP3 players. Even the popular Apple i. Pmp Audio Books' title='Pmp Audio Books' />Pod players do not have this feature. It really boggles my mind how rarely. Many players will resume play where you left off when you turn the player off and then. For example. if you navigate away from your long file, you lose your place. I call this feature OnOff Resume Play. Some players will remember your place on a per file basis, but only in files that have been specifically flagged as audiobooks. Pmp Audio Books' title='Pmp Audio Books' />Apple i. Pod players fall in this category. Files. purchased from Audible. Other files. have to be flagged manually. However, this. is also a very poor replacement for true bookmarking as you not only have to remember to flag files as audiobooks. And, if you happen to start a file playing from the beginning, you lose your place. I call this feature Per File Resume Play to differentiate between OnOff Resume Play.

For some people, manual bookmark capability is very important feature. For me, that feature is an absolute. It is a major. annoyance to locate my place in long files. I would never. use or buy any player without this capability. I simply listen to too many long. I left off all day long. Combined with the fact that many. MP3 players fast forward at extremely slow speeds, makes it even more of a requirement. I simply do not have the patience to. Generally there are. MP3 Player to Save or Set Bookmark, Load or Select Bookmark, and Delete Bookmark. Save Bookmark. remembers the current play time and file. Load Bookmark resumes play from the previously saved. Delete Bookmark erases the bookmark from memory. Some players may not have. Delete Bookmark, but will allow you to overwrite an existing bookmark. Some players will remember the time and file when you save a bookmark, but, annoyingly, will not. So, if your audiobook has for example 1. Ideally, a bookmark will remember not only the time and file, but the playlist that was. Rio MP3 players do it this way. I have not tested this feature with all Rio. I suspect that all Rios that support bookmarks also support this valuable feature. According to a November 2. Creative Zen V Plus does not bookmark the entire playlist, just the one bookmarked file. I have not personally verified this and I dont. Creative players much less useful in this regard. MP3 Player Bookmark Feature Comparison Chart.

It remembers the. The only negative is that the bookmarks are. Bookmark 1 etc and so they do not display exactly what is bookmarked. I have also personally tested the i. Pod and Rock. Box. All other player reports in the chart above are either. All Rio brand players except the very early models like the PMP 3. Many Rio players are still available on e. Bay inexpensively, however, they are getting more and more scarce. Also. many Rio models are so old they support only USB 1. USB 2. 0. Rockbox is a solution for those geeky enough to be willing to install a new open source firmware. I would not recommended it for the general public but if you are willing to experiment with beta software its worth a look. However, it does not support DRM protected files e. Netlibrary audiobooks so it is not a solution unless your files are DRM free. It is a totally new firmware and a great collection of software. Not only does it support bookmarks but it has dozens of. JPEG viewing, games even Doom, customizable themes, fonts, backgrounds, and much more. Plus it is open source.
