Resuming Music playback (1 Viewer)

[Pizbit]

I've been listening to audio books lately and often I stop listening to watch tv, go out, go to sleep etc.
When I come back I have to fast forward to where I remember I was last at. This can take a few minutes(some files are several hours) and if I overshoot, I have to start again - for some reason you can't re-wind audio and there's no stepping as in video.

Having the option to resume audio from where you left off would save a lot of time and hassle, especially when you forget where you were up to.

This could be implemented a couple of ways, here's a few ideas.
Since we obviously don't want to be resuming normal music files of only a few minutes:
1) Automatically allow resuming for audio files over X length(say 10 minutes)
2) Allow per-folder/share resumable setting
3) Have the ability to place a media 'bookmark'

You would only be asked if you want to resume when you manually select the file and not when it's in a play list you create etc. Especially relevant for #1 because you don't want to be playing music and suddenly hit a 11 minute song in a play list and be asked 'do you want to resume?'

I listen to audio books quite a bit, and think that they could definitely use their own plug in. However, simply being able to resume a play list at the spot I left off at would be adequate. Thanks for all the great work!

It's on my list for implementation. Not on top, but will get implemented in the way as Pizbit suggested.
i hope to find some time in the next weeks,

Just thought I'd resurrect this old thread. Or is there a way to do this now?
