Please recommend cheap mp3 player that remembers track location.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this - suggestions welcomed! - , but I'm looking for a cheap mp3 player that remembers track location. In other words if I'm listening to a 10 minute track, and stop half way through, the mp3 player knows where to keep playing from.
Any ideas? Anyone got a cheap one that does that job? Anyone got an idea as to what short phrase to use for "remembers track location. In other words if I'm listening to a 10 minute track, and stop half way through, the mp3 player knows where to keep playing from" so I can google search? Thanks... |

What else are you using it with? A HiFi, headphones?
Don't you have a smartphone you could use? Then you have lots of apps to choose from. |

I've had a few Sansa products in the past, Clip, Fuze+, pretty sure they included the resume playback feature you are looking for.
The best place for confirmation would be the Sansa forums. |

sansa clip zip works. mine is rockboxed, which i'd suggest doing. it plays pretty much all popular audio formats and even 24 bit flac. has some built in memory and takes SDXC cards. i've got a 200gb card in mine and play mostly flac, some 24bit

I have an Archos Key mp3 player which remembers as long as you don't switch it off completely. It has a long battery life as well. http://www.conrad-electronic.co.uk/c...p3-Player-4-Gb
Unlike a Tevion mp3/multi-media player, which I was very impressed with for a while, but after about twenty charges the battery became dead and the player made useless. |

I had assumed all mp3 players (all types, inc mp3 on smart phones) would do this?
I have had a couple of dedicated mp3 players which did. I currently have a ipod shuffle (one of the more modern smaller ones) which also remembers where you were when you turn it on. I think this only doesn't work when you add or removes files from it). |

Thanks for the thoughts: much appreciated. Ideas coming in around the £25 mark, which is just do-able for me. Can we drive it down any further?
Any track-pause-position-remembering-mp3 players for under twenty pound? |

When you go below £20 you'll be into the un-branded Chinese stuff which appears on Amazon / e-Bay. The quality will be more variable and the instructions probably in 'Chinglish' at best.

I have resorted to using MP3 splitter software because the car stereo doesn't remember the position if you're playing something like a long radio show or a podcast, or as I often do directly ripped MP3's of the sound from DVDs for TV series/stand up comedy etc
Using this to split files to 5 minute segments for example, tnere is no quality loss. https://sourceforge.net/projects/mp3splt/ |
