Re: Saving Your Place in WMP

Hi, Katherine.
Not to belabor the point, I wanted to alert you to a device designed to meet our reading needs. You can download audio and other books onto a Victor Stream. When you turn it off, it automatically leaves you at the spot in the book where you stopped. If you happen to be reading several books at the same time, each one restarts where you left off. It has a number of other features that help both reading, such as a variable speed control, and navigating through a book. These features are ones most sighted listeners of audio books don't appear to appreciate, and so programs such as WMP and Winamp don't yet provide them. Well, WMP allows you to speed up playback, but only by one step.

You are correct, I'm just listening on the computer with Windows Media Player. I don't have any other devices.

I think she's just wondering about ordinary player programs we use on our computers, not $300 portable listening devices.

I don't know any other media player other than iTunes that will allow you to do this. So, in short, no is the answer.

Hello, Everyone,
I downloaded a book in mp3 format which I am playing on my computer using WMP. Does anyone know if there is a way using Jaws or WMP, to same my place when I am finished listening so I don't have to start back at the beginning? 

Thank you,

Katherine
