Can I save my place in an audiobook on an MP3 player?

Hi,

I want to listen to audiobooks on an MP3 player, but I want to be able to save my place and go back to it later.

Is there a player that does this?

Or, is there a player that lets you fast forward through a file?

Most, if not all, Creative Zens let you put a "bookmark" on a file so you can return to it later. Not sure about iPods.

And you can fast forward ( and rewind! ) through files, yes.

On an iPod, you can stop listening, and plug it into your PC, listen to it a bit on the PC, and then carry on from where you left on from on your iPod.

Are you switvching the iPod off doing this or do you need to leave the power on?

An iPod stays "On" for quite a long time first. It goes to sleep, then you press any button and you are straight back to where you were previously.

Thats the theory anyway. After I have connected my iPods to my PC and disconnected again. The iPod will play for about a minute or so then jump to the end of the audio book.

This has happened on an iPod mini 6gb and an iPod 5G 80gb, and with many different audiobook files (acc format)
