I just experimented with 3 such “audiobooks” (I put in parenthesis because it’s just a regular mp3 file, about 200mb, untagged, and not really an audiobook). This is true whether or not I pause the file before leaving it. When I leave an “audiobook” then come back, it resumes.

I just drag the mp3 file from my PC into the Clip’s Audiobooks folder. Creating tags, in my case, would be inconvenient, so this is a “pro”. I was experimenting with my new Clip (firmware version 2.01.13A out of the box) and I discovered I don’t have to create tags for the autoresume (i.e., bookmarks) to work. If one wants to go back or forward, be sure to hold the l>l buttons down, which will begin with a slow speed and gradually increase the scrolling speed.** Hit either Select (center button) or >l (forward key).ĭANGER: Note that when the audiobook is playing, hitting the l>l key takes one to the next Part. Ø When shifting out of an audiobook and then returning, one will have the choice of Play Previous (or Resume Playback vs Start From the Beginning). These bookmarks stay in place even when switching between books in audiobooks and within all Part of an audiobook (which is not the case when switching between Songs). When so specified, the book files are segregated and the bookmarks will be retained. Go to Library, Songs, and the particular item – then highlight the genre(which shows as rock, jazz, blues, etc).

To ensure that a bookmark stays in intact when switching from a book to a song, it is necessary before downloading the book to the MP-3 to set the genre correctly in Windows Media Player (or comparable media software that is used for downloads). Ø It will NOT bookmark within Music (unless genre is correct) Ø It will also return to the same point when switching from the Music tab to the FM tab and vice versa. Ø It will return to the same point when turned off and on. This is done by specifying the genre correctly before downloading the book to the MP-3.
In order for a bookmark to work correctly, the Sansa Clip has to know the relevant item stored is a book or podcast rather than music. Without bookmarks, finding one’s place is quite tedious (even if one has manually made a note of the exact time of the ending point as shown on the MP-3 before turning off or switching functions). A book is often stored in 8 to 10 “Parts”, each one of which can be over an hour long. Books are stored in the Music menu tab (other tabs are FM, Voice, Settings). Everything works wonderfully with the firmware release 1.01.30 !!!īookmarking is very important since it allows one to return to the point where one stopped when last listening to the book. **Here is a lot that I have learned about bookmarking on the Sansa Clip.
