Sammyboy Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 I know there are 'bookmarking' options with MD players, but do they just 'bookmark' particular favourite tracks or does it also remember where you are in a particular track?What I mean is these audiobooks I have are just one big MP3, 200-300Mb in size, and having to try to get to where I am in the audiobook when I resume listening to it will become harder and harder the further I am into the book. Does the 'bookmark' fuction also work in such a way as to remember where I am in a particular audiobook, i.e. so I can just insert a MD with that audiobook on and be able to find where I left off last time I was listening to that book?I hope this makes sense!

Sammyboy Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Just read through the manual on my MZ-NH700, and it appears I can't do what I'm intending to do - the 'T-Mark' it seems is for splitting up a recording into different tracks and won't 'bookmark' my place in a large MP3 file. The bookmark function I believe is also only for playing specific tracks rather than your position in one track. Is there a way of doing this, or at least be able to get to a specific part of a track (i.e. where I've gotten to in the audiobook)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 in the menu , try and find "Resume" Most of my MD's will start where I stopped , as long as I dont take the disc out , but I have two that will remember the disc .

My MZ-R500 will resume playing precisely where I stopped it, for both SP/LP, when the disc is left in it. Probably worth noting that the unit is always connected to some kind of power, either A/C or battery, even when it's not actually on.

Sammyboy Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Cheers, I'll keep an eye out for that 'resume' menu. I'll have an experiment with the MD units once I've got the audiobooks onto a disk and see what I can do btw which two MiniDisc players remember your position in a track Guitarfxr?

raintheory Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) Trackmarking might be the only option if you plan on swapping discs. Trackmarks can always be removed afterwards...However:If you are using Hi-MD, the only way you will be able to trackmark transferred audio is if you transfer it in NetMD mode using SimpleBurner... Anything transferred in Hi-MD mode, or anything transferred via SonicStage (in any mode) cannot be trackmarked.To transfer using Simple Burner you will need to burn to a CD or CD image (CD-RW works and is of course reusable). Nero will let you overburn a CD image up to 150 or 160 minutes I believe. Though you can always split it up.

Sammyboy Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'll have to get hold of a copy of simpleburner - I think I saw a link on here somewhere!Not sure if I have a burning programme apart from the Windows default one - is Nero a freeware programme or one you have to pay for?Thing is these audiobooks are between 8 hours and I think a couple are over a day's total runtime! Though that shouldn't be too many sections even if they are 150-160 mins each. Not had much experience with CD-burning but will have an experiement later (and probably be asking more silly questions lol!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I have a few units, and they all keep where I'm at if I don't remove a disc. If that doesn't work, then you mayy have to fast forward, or try experimenting with adding tracks.good luck,Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
