Can you pause and resume with this player? I listen to audiobooks and definately need this feature, but I can't find anything on it.

There is a pause/play button on the Gigabeat. My friend has a brand new Ipod mp3 and video and hers will pause automatically if the earphones become unplugged.

The only way you could do that would be this:When you're through listening to your audiobook for the moment, simply turn the player off. When you turn it back on, it will be at the exact same place you left off at. Other than that, no, you cannot pause the audiobook, play a couple of songs, then go back to the audiobook and resume where you left off at. Sorry :( Hope that helps...

You need headphones. And, unfortunately, this CD player does not have the "Resume" feature.

I really don't know but the play/pause button doesn't work as should be... What really do is to pass to the next song so you can't pause anything... Aat least not with the device... Well, thats happens to me, but after all I'm really happy with the device because is really cheap, has many pluses and found only one little problem. That's all I can say about, hope it will help you to make your choice and good luck!!!

The library's a great suggestion -- thanks! I called both SanDisk and Audible to complain about their mutual incompatibility and was told by both that it was up to SanDisk. Anyway, my lesson from all of this is that I should look into these things more thoroughly before I buy another player (which hopefully won't be any time soon!).

I use it for listening to lectures, books and music. If you pause it (and let it auto shut off) or turn it off it starts over from where you left off. If you set the sleep timer it starts over from where it shut off. Also it turns on quickly. It has bookmarks and I find them easy to use. All in all I am very happy with its performance and usability.

Sounds like you may have a defective unit. I listen to books on CD and there's no repetition. When "pause" is used, it starts up where I left off.

I concur with CJ. I can't speak for DRM (I don't go near the stuff) but it definitely has good auto-resume. The resume gets my stamp of approval for audiobook listening.

If you hit stop and then turn off player, when you turn it back on will the movie resume where it left off? Thanks.

If somebody finds a system that will resume the CD playback please do post here. I am on the lookout for one with that feature.

If you mean when you turn off the player, yes, however you have a 4 hr. battery so just pause it and go back later. Oh, and the fast forward works really well (fast!) so you have that option also. Hope I answered your question.

Hi Danny,Thanks for the tip but when streaming music and long-pressing the button to activate google voice, music still plays and it interferes with my voice command.it doesn't pause like you described. It plays through the phone speakers.

When playing CD talking books, the player resumes at the last location when turned on. Should work the same for playing DVD's.

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!

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've had mine for a couple weeks, listening primarily to Audible.com books. So far, it's been the best I've found (aside from an iPod) with resume (interestingly, if the sleep timer shuts off the system, when you turn it back on, you don't need to hit play: it just starts playing where it left off). I haven't tried with any books using a DRM system yet, though.

When it is on, and paired and connected, it plays. There is no pause. To pause, you have to turn off the power.

One important clarification - it remembers the file you were on and starts playing it from the beginning, but if you were listening to, say, a lecture which is 1+ hours long, it won't remember where you stopped, so it will start it over from the beginning. You have NO way to fast forward (only skip), which is why I'll be returning mine.
