Does this player resume podcasts if I shutdown the player while listening? What if I play another file, if I play the podcast again, does it resume ?

Don't know what a podcast is. to shut off player, you first pause, then hold off button. When you turn player back on , it resumes the song you paused

No. - If you pause a podcast, and then listen to that exact same podcast again, it will remember your place.- But, if you pause a podcast, and then go listen to another podcast, when you return to the first podcast, it will start you back at the beginning.And yes, it's amazingly hard to believe that Sony has not included this most basic of functionality, but it has not. Steer clear of this device if you want to use it to listen to podcasts and audiobooks.

Only if you hit pause prior to shut down it will resume where you left off when you turn it back on

Hello. Sony's webpage for this item does not supply information about paused Podcasts playback functionality, but most devices will standardly resume a Podcast if you close the program and then go back into the same podcast. Usually Podcasts do not resume when you switch between Podcasts.Thank you

On this particular player I hit the mode button on the top left side of the player. Mine doesn't have a playlist listing. Basically I've got mine set up where it plays my songs in alphabetical order. After it plays the last song in the alphabetized playlist. It will return to the first song alphabetically listed on my player. But you'll have to push that button until you get the results I got. Depending on how you set that mode button the player will play your mp3 files on a randomized setting. I don't like that setting cause from my experience with other players you don't have any control over what plays when. Long story short. If you push that mode button to the "proper setting" for me. You can play, fast forward or rewind until your heart is content and hear what you want when you want. Hope this helps. Sorry for the delay in answering.

It will ask you if you want to resume where you left off when you restart the player - at least it did for the Twilight movie we were watching. But note, I did not remove the disc from the player. If it does not, it is due to how the DVD/Blu-Ray was formatted from the factory, not an issue with the player itself.

Depending on the model you get, when you hold the play/pause button you'll see these options: fod ALL rAN One You just have to hold the button, until one of the options you want comes up. I have two of these gadget and the options are in different order. You want rAN (for random) The other options just repeat "one" repeat "folder" or repeat "all."

both answers are INCORRECT - YES, you can fast-forward or rewind within a song, a podcast or a book while it's playing, press and hold the FF or RWD button, and the player will scroll within the song, not skip to the next/previous one. The screen displays the timeline only (songs) or timeline and actual time elapsed, time to go (books and podcasts.)

I'm glad you warned me. I notice there are firmware upgrades on their site. But why would I have to upgrade a brand new player? One of them said it was necessary to listen to audible books? I hope not. I may very well get back to you with questions. Thank you again!

This product has a hold feature, but does not allow for resume in the sense that your looking for( such as kindle readers etc ). However, if you don't mind a little work, you can always convert each chapter into it's own mp3 and then burn them all to disk. This will allow you to listen to one chapter at a time, skip a chapter, program which chapter you wish to read, or hold/pause a chapter. You can not turn the player off and come back to the spot you left off at. But, by converting each chapter to it's own mp3, you can avoid having to listen to the entire book again when you turn the player back on. You will only need to start at the beginning of the chapter you left off at. To get the feature you are looking for unfortunately, you will have to have a kindle type reader. I hope this answers your question.

I have the GoGEAR RAGA model. It will pick up on the song that you were playing when you powered off, it comes up paused until you press play to resume. I usually use the folder view to go through my music since the RAGA doesn't support play lists, in case you didn't know that.

Confirming that this one does not resume CDs or MP3-CDs. My car player does, of course--I suppose that's standard with them. I also have an old Rio portable CD/MP3-CD player, that does, but it has no speakers---so I can actually team it up with this Panasonic using a simple audio cable, and have resume.

No. If you start listening to one podcast and then play another, it will not remember where you left off on the previous one.

No. Every time you power it on it will load on the main menu. But, every time you play an archive that alredy had been played, it asks you if you want to resume playback. If you click "yes" it will play at the point it had stop. Another thing: it will automatically play archives in sequence in the same folder. If there's just one, it will loop playing from the beggining after it ends.

Yes, it gives you a choice - "resume playback yes / no". This happened to us even after powering off the device.

My earlier answer was erroneous. After reading the Charles Lohr reply I confirmed that in fact during playback you can adjust playback speed using the plus & minus buttons after pressing the OK button a second time (the first time starts playback). It seems to retain the last playback speed selection even after shutting down.

Hit the "STOP" button (it's a square, next to Mega Bass button) twice, to stop Resume Play. Resume Play is also cancelled when the CD compartment is opened. This is according to the Operating Instructions. dp in RI

Interesting question. All I did was load some files and I play them in order or use skip back/forward buttons. I believe that's all you can do because there's no menue tool or option...just 'play' and skip. BUT know that the audio is superlative as it bypasses the already good Bluetooth. Maybe others know of a way to load an separate playlist? Or...get multiple SD cards LOL. Oh. And it does ecxit SD mode on power off but restart is a button press...

I checked on Creative's website. Here is their answer:'No. But the player can resume its play back position after it is powered up. If the player is paused before it is power down, the player will still continue to play once it is switched on.'

If I have 10 mp3 songs on the USB and it has played them all - does it stop or can it be set to repeat them over and over?
