Windows Media - Pause for thought

[Guest Flash]

I'm a great lover of audio books (listening to Stephen Fry reading the Harry Potter books at the mo - very good :wink: )

Anyway, my question. I've basically transfered each CD as a single file, so you can imagine, even when compressed down to about 20Kbps, they're still rather large, and long - about 1hr 10mins.

There I am, listening to the book when the phone goes. Windows Media stops. My call ends and, oh bu**ar, I gotta start again. With no forward button, I can't get back to where I left off. :cry:

Does anyone know if there is a work around to this? Any alternative to Windows Media which has this feature? It wouldn't half save me some time :wink:

If your phone is app unlocked you can use PocketMVP . But it only seems to recognize MP3. If your phone isn't unlocked there is a way of being able to fast forward in windows media player but i can't remember what it is. I shall look for it :roll:

Thanks Davidrm for your help. I have an unlocked phone, and these are MP3 files, so I'll check out the PocketMVP and see if it works. :wink:

Press "3" to go forward in PocketMVP :wink:

Errrr... where exactly do I find PocketMVP? Done a search, but have failed...... miserably :oops:

Goto http://www.monolithix.org/SPV_software and download the app called Pocket Divx alpha 4

The workaround is to create an asx file with place markers in it. Im not entirely sure how to do this.

A search of the forum threw up this thread which might be what you are looking for.

Thanks Gorskar. It might need a little bit of working out, but I'll give it a try as well.
