Title: How to Bookmark Audio files
Post by: depoteet on April 16, 2009, 11:04:15 am

I'm evaluating JRiver and I can't find a feature I need.  I've browsed the FAQs and searched the forum.

I listen to a lot of audiobooks and need the ability to quickly bookmark my place when my reading gets interrupted.  My current player, Media Monkey, has a bookmarking feature for audiobooks.  Does MP have a way to do this?

Welcome to Interact.

Media Center does support bookmarking of audio and video.  The bookmarking behavior is controlled per-file by the field called "Use Bookmarking".  Show this field in any list and edit the values.

The accepted values are:
Default: use bookmark if the file is an Audible file, has its media-sub type set to "Audiobook", is a podcast, or is a video
Yes: always use bookmark
No: never use bookmark

When you stop playback, if you press stop a second time it will clear the bookmark.

Thanks for the VERY prompt reply!  The bookmarking feature works just fine for my needs. 

I'm moving forward with my eval.  There's a LOT to check out.  The features just go on and on.  If everything else works as well as bookmarking I think I'll be making the switch.
