Bookmark functionality

<< < (2/2)

Bookmarks work for me with Video files.  I have not tried Audiobooks.

I just read through some of the wiki on bookmarking and found this near the top:

"If the file in question has the [Use Bookmarking] field set explicitly to Yes the the Bookmark is obeyed. If it is set to No then it is ignored. Otherwise, if [Use Bookmarking] is set to Default, then it will automatically use Bookmarking:
If the [Media Type] of the file is Video and the duration of the file is greater than 15 minutes.
Or if the [Media Type] is Audio and the [Media Sub Type] is Podcast or Audiobook."

This explains why bookmarking has always "just worked" for me on video files, but not on songs (music) files.  I wonder if your audio books have the proper Media SubType set?  You might also try manually setting the [Use Bookmarking] field in a file or two to "Yes".  I'll bet it's something to do with the media type/subtype.

Thanks a bunch Brian that worked, specifically changing these settings:

Use Bookmarking -> From Default to "Yes" - on an individual audiobook file
Tools > Options > General > Behavior > Resume playback using bookmarks

Now I need to find out the best way to relabel 200 mp3 files on a mac, so that the Use Bookmarking feature is enabled, any ideas ?

blgentry:
I believe the proper way to enable this is to set the [Media SubType] field to be Audiobook.  That should make it work for all files with that field.

But I guess it's nearly equivalent to set the [Use Bookmark] field instead.  Here are some pointers on how to set that:

Go to a view that shows all of your audio books.  Highlight all of them.  Now open the Tagging Window with Edit > Tag.  The Tag Window will now change tags on ALL of those files at the same time.  Go find the [Use Bookmarks] tag and set it to Yes.  That should do it.

Good luck,
Brian.
