Ipod Nano 7th Gen Audiobook Resume Playback

Hi isolve, can you tell me some more about how you tested this? Did the ipod hold the same position ofter shutdown or after a long period on pause. See if you can get it to loose the position.

thanks

UPDATE:

Hello, I have recently purhased the 7th generation nano ans I wanted to post my findings regarding audiobook playback and functionality. I know there are audiobook users who, like me, may be hesitaing to get this new nano for the reasons I outlined above.

In a nutshell I had a 3rd generation nano that was flawless when it came to remembering audiobookmars, sometimes after months of use, the player would begin where I last left off. Then there was extreme problems with the 6th gen Nano, as it would fail to keep a place no matter what one did.

I am happy to report that so far, 7th gen nano is perfoming perfectly, I have several books, mp3 files (remember to select "remember playback position" in the info options of the file if you want it to get bookmarked) and movie documentaries going and all of them have held their playback position without exception, this is over a period of two weeks. The only test I havent tried yet is complete power loss do to battery drain. And Like my 3rd gen, when I use it in my car, it starts right where i left off.

Hi, yes the 7th has a 1x button within the audiobook, i havennt used this feature but it is there.

scrubbing through a long book(ie going back or forth ) is indeed a bit of a nuisance with these touch models, especially if you have large fingers. My 3rd gen scroll wheel was very precice and easy to use. However, it is not a dealbreaker for me, while its harder, I am always able to get back to where I want in a long book. It just takes some practice to get the right feel. You need to be concentrating and standing still, dont try to do it on the move. Also, the chapers are much easier to select. In the 3rg gen these were indicated but tiny lines, but now you see large chaper headings, so if you need to go back or foward, i suggest using the chapter method (then within the chapter you can scrub and get pretty close).

For me, personally, I am very happy listening to audiobooks with this nano
