It did not work for me... I'm unsure why (because I don't fully understand its purpose, for example, the variable FILESUM). I have some ogg files, and your script relies on the assumption that only mp3 files are present. Besides, it requires the previous existence of file "abook.plist".

Anyway...

how from last 3 lines make only one line? :/
thanks.
What about the following? (not tested)

Code:
mplayer -ss $RESPOINT $CPLIST | awk 'BEGIN{RS="\r"}/Playing/{print $2}/^A:/{t=$2}END{print t}' > $HOME/.mplayer/abook.resume
The use of pipes in a single line avoids the existence of the temporal file, which is a good thing, because that file grows very faster (mplayer outputs status information about ten times per second!)
