Does this player keep your place in an e-book or songs when it is powered down?

NO, that is one thing that I do not like. In fact if you put it on PAUSE, while on battery it will shut off after 10 minutes and you LOSE your place! IF it is plugged in to external power and you leave it turned on then it saves your place. Also to return to your place is difficult! You have a 'Fast Forward' and a 'Rewind' button - the rewind is VERY fast, almost too fast. However, if you lose your place and have to start OVER from the beginning the 'Fast Forward' is VERY SLOW!!! Other than THIS I really like this MP3 player, and the battery last FOREVER, many hours.

Works fine for extended play, but I've started turning it off when not in use (same for all my externals) to try to save life. I used to leave it on 24-7 for a few months without a crash, but its making some scary noises lately. I'll report back.

Does the player have an automatic return to stop when the record is finished?

Well I had mine shut off for two days. when I fired it up last night it started playing back the song right in the middle where it was when I had turned it off. It always starts playback where I left off and I have owned it for a week.

Mine seems to do the same thing. I called the number on the Instruction booklet, the person I talked to could not help but unsuccessfully tried to reach their tech support. They never called me back. I really like the player- it is just what I was looking for. I will return the unit as I also think it is defective. Cannot decide whether to ask for a replacement, or just get my money back.

if you mean will it shut-off after a period of non-use, then yes, but only if nothing is playing. If it is play mode, it will continue through your playlist until it reaches the end of it, and then it will shut-off after a few minutes of inactivity.

Exactly the CD player is what I meant to say, thanks. I like to listen to audio books but sometimes after a couple of hours of listening or if I leave it paused for to long it shuts off and feels quite warm to the touch. :(

Wade - if you are referring to the power down due to audio inactivity, yes, they do have that. But to tell you the truth, this has not been an issue with me at all. I use them quite frequently for videos, music etc and I haven't even noticed that it has come into play. I actually prefer this mode, as I don't have to power the units down when I walk away. And when I return, they automatically power themselves up.Hope this helps.

Not that I have found. I keep a flash drive with the music I want to hear. Folks have reported problems plugging in smart phones, so I keep it simple.

I don't think so....it just plays the songs as listed on the card. When I turn it off and on again it usually start from the first song on my list. It would of been cool to have the shuffle/random function though.....but its still a great device.

Have had mine for over 2 years and no problems yet. But then it might depend on how much you use the player? Mine doesn't really get used that much.

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 will shuffle. When the player is on, press pause (power on/off) button, then NEXT button, the player will be in random play mode. To get it out of random mode press pause then the previous button and it will go back to in order play.

yes, although they are arranged by when you loaded them onto it and cannot be sorted alphabetically or any other way. songs loaded will frequently become corrupt as well. pass this one up, spend a few more bucks on a better model and you'll be happy you avoided this awful mp3 player

You plug your mp3, ipod, etc. into the unit. Therefore it will depend on whether or not your lecture-playing device leaves off at the last point. This in itself cannot store and play music, it uses other devices to do so

i use mine to download books from the library- when i turn it off and then back on i am where i left off- does that help?

I use mine while working out so its always plugged in. Sorry I can't answer your question. It's a great little player.
