I seem to remember previously about bookmarking for Audiobooks -
did anything come of this?

Cheers

bookmarking for Audiobooks - did anything come of this?

This came up a year ago (Oct 14, 1999 see here.)

Mike then answered In the future there will be a number of ways round this problem. Wait and see :-).

On the first empeg user group meeting in Amersfoort, yesterday, Rob and Roger did a sneak preview of features and demonstrated that 'bookmarks' are indeed being implemented. They may go into alpha testing soon, so in a couple of months Mike's 'wait and see :-) will be over, I'd say. There will be a number of (named) bookmarks that store previous playlists, that can be restored for playback from the position where they were left . . .

Gah, that's the trouble with user group meetings -- it's not just Hugo that beats me to leaking new features these days!

A slightly modified version of "bookmarks" would also be VERY useful in alleviating the "continuous mixes" problem: instead of dealing with the spaces between multiple tracks, the whole mix could be encoded as a single track (or combined into a single track) and "bookmark" indicators in the ID3v2 header could identify the track mark positions (and, presumably, associated track titles). This would also be a handy way of keeping an entire album as a single MP3 file.

On the other hand, there'd be no need for this if there were a way for the decoder to play tracks seamlessly.
