First podcast wish coming true

After fast forwarding through about 45 minutes of the last dotnetrocks, I realized how important MP3 bookmarking will be.  I have officially requested this for a future iriver h320 firmware upgrade, but am not holding my breath.

Looks like I may have gotten a player just a bit too soon.  This post, snagged from scoble's link blog, shows that the new creative zen's will support this future.  Now just implement Adam Curry's thoughts on processing opml, and we have a fanstastic podcasting device.

Now, how do I convince the wife half way through the year (of course if no new iRiver firmware is released) that I need to replace my player.  Oh well, looks like I'll be fast forwarding for at least 2005.

You could always pre-process the podcast so that it gets broken up into separate mp3 files before moving it to the device. This is typically what's done with live performances where the entirety of the show is taped on DAT and then, when transferred to WAV files are broken into separate files representing the specific songs played during the show.

Thats def an option, but if I was to do something like this it would need to be automated. Maybe something that monitors my inbound podcast dir, and as new mp3s are downloaded break it into 5 meg (5 minute would be better, but hoping to avoid calculating bitrate -&gt; minutes) chunks. Probably pretty easy to code. /me will be pondering this

Think the bookmark idea is a great one but to get you over the hump, you could try the study mode. It at least lets you move 10min at a time. I actually had the same problem last night (just got my unit yesterday). By the way (and have to admit haven't researched this yet, so being a little slack) how did you put in your enhancement request?
