Media player that auto-resumes multiple audiobooks/podcasts
 
Hi all,

I'm aware that Panucci is a media player for the n900 that supports resuming of audio tracks. I've also noticed that the built in media player seems happy to resume tracks *sometimes*, but I've not worked out how to do it reliably.

What I'm after is a media player that will remember where I am in several tracks simultaneously. I would like to be in a position where I could be listening to an audio book on my journey to work in the morning, but want to listen to a podcast on the way back, and then go back to where I left off in the audio book at a later point in time. It's possible that the journey won't be enough time to finish the podcast either, so I would need the media player to retain the position in both of these files for resuming later. Maybe I'll decide I don't want to resume either of them and will listen to something else too, and so on...

I'll note it doesn't need to manage the media particularly (though I would love a nice interface that showed me what was I had started and not finished yet). However, gPodder does a fine job at actually downloading podcasts, so I'm happy without any functionality like that.

Sadly, my coding days are somewhat web based these days, and so don't lend themselves to writing native apps. Is there anything already out there to do what I'm suggesting?

Cheers

Andy

Panucci remembers the resume position of several tracks already.

That'll teach me for posting while a thought was in my head and not while my phone was in my hand...

Now all it needs is a nice split screen interface to keep track of what you've actually got outstanding to finish :)
