Description clinton 2006-01-02 04:42:47 UTC

Version:           1.3.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

It's difficult to listen to an audiobook or podcast in a single session. A great feature would be the ability to "bookmark" a point in time for an audio file and then return to that bookmark at the next session. It's important to be able to set bookmarks for individual audio files as it is often the case that I am listening to parts of several different podcasts and audio books within the same time frame. IE Last week, I listened to part of an audiobook, then NPR and then some linux podcasts. Right now, I write a text file note about where I am in each file. These bookmarks could also be used to quickly find "places of interest" within the audio file. Kind of like an index for a book.

Yes!  I have to put a word in for this one.  

In addition to manually created bookmarks, it would be nice to also have automatic bookmarks created (per track) when I stop listening to a track.  Of course you wouldn't want to do this for all tracks.  I would want to have a way to mark some tracks as "persistent" or "audiobook" or something to enable auto-bookmarking on that track.

I spend a lot of time seeking around huge audio book files to find the point where I last listened.

I vote for this feature too!

I suggest that you implement podcast bookmarking a similar way to how the ipod does it. When you are listening to a podcast file and you stop/skip the track, save in the database the position it was listened up to. When the podcast file is played again, simply recall the played from position. This allows you to listen to several podcasts, then music, then jump back to where you were in each podcast when you like.

I also really would like to see this feature in amarok, so I`m voting for a bookmarking implementation

By the way, it's on the todo for Amarok2, so we do our best to get it into 2.0.

Moving to Amarok 2 for Cory ;-)

marking as duplicate as the other report includes all that is asked for here plus syncing with mobile devices.
