As for bookmarking, that is a player specific function. As far as I know Apple chooses to give its customers the finger instead of bookmarking. In fact I don't even think the iPhone has a fast forward button. One way around this is to use a program like Audacity to chop long chapters into short segments and export them to mp3. You just look for 1-2 second long silence, and clip it right there. I find 10 minute segments ideal if I'm cutting up a track that's several hours long, but anything from 4-20 minutes would be okay. I don't even bother if it's less than 3 hours, because my player has auto-resume.

I don't think you want to mark them as favorites, because then they'll be played more frequently in your rotation, But you may want to make a playlist with them instead of managing folders. Some people like it that way. Either way, I'd rename the tracks to be all numeric.
Pokey thanks. It helped. I have another question about listening to audio books. I want to know if you can speed up the audio/video to 3x or something to get through materials faster. That way you can save time. Anyone knows how you can do this in MPlayer or other players supported with Mameo?
