Hi there,
I just became a member of net library, and what a great resource, huh?
Anyhow, what I have found is that I can play these files using a program called
Winamp, which can be downloaded from:
http://www.winamp.com
Using that program, I am able to check my current location in a file at any
time by pressing control j. This opens an edit box which displays the current
time in minutes and seconds. Then, when I want to return to an audio file and
resume where I left off, I can simply press control j, type the time into the
edit box where I would like to begin, press enter, and I'm immediately placed
at that location.
I haven't yet found a similar "jump to time" command in Windows Media.
Write if you need assistance in downloading or installing the Winamp player. By
the way, I recommend everybody try Winamp out, it's generally a superior player
to the others such as Real Player, especially in the keyboard access
department.
Good luck,
Scott

Hi, Everyone,
I posted this question before and received an answer which seemed
reasonable, but when I tried the answer today it did not work.
I download books from a source provided through our public library called
Netlibrary. They play only through Windows Media Player. When I want to end a
reading session, the reading resumes at the beginning of the book and it is
very difficult to locate my place when resuming.
It was suggested on this list that I use pause to stop the reading and
that when I open Windows Media Player the next time, the reading will resume at
the same position.
However, even pausing the book does not keep my location. If I close
Windows Media Player the next time the reading resumes at the beginning of the
book.
Are there any other suggestions besides buying a device like Bookport?
Thanks for any other suggestions.
Lori Castner
