8.7. Bookmarking
Bookmarks allow you to save your current position within a track so that you can return
to it at a later time. Bookmarks also store rate, pitch and speed information from the
Pitch Screen
(see section
(page
)). Bookmarks are saved on a per directory
basis or for individual (saved) playlists. You can store multiple bookmarks, even for the
same track. When there’s already a bookmark for a directory or playlist, new bookmarks
are added before existing ones.
Bookmarks are stored next to the directory or playlist they reference, in a file with the
same name as the directory or playlist and a “.bmark” extension. To load a bookmark,
select the bookmark file and then select the bookmark to load. There are other ways to
load a bookmarks mentioned below.
Note:
Bookmarking only works when tracks are launched from the file browser, and
b
does not work for tracks launched via the database. In addition, they do not work with
dynamic playlists.
Bookmark on Stop.
This option controls whether Rockbox creates a bookmark when
playback is stopped manually.
No.
Do not create bookmarks.
Yes.
Always create bookmarks.
Ask.
Ask if a bookmark should be created.
Yes – Recent Only.
Always create a bookmark, but only in the recent bookmarks
list.
Ask – Recent Only.
Ask if a bookmark should be created, but only add it to the
recent bookmarks list.
When either
Yes – Recent Only
or
Ask – Recent Only
is selected, bookmarks
are only created if the
Maintain a List of Recent Bookmarks
is enabled.
Note:
The
Resume
function remembers your position in the most recently ac-
b
cessed track regardless of how the
Bookmark on Stop
option is set.
Update on Stop.
If set to “No”, this setting has no effect and does not affect any other
settings. If set to “Yes”, and the file to which a new bookmark would be added
already exists, this option overrides the previous setting (
Bookmark on Stop
)
and unconditionally creates a bookmark. This is useful if you don’t generally want
to create bookmarks but only want to add them to already existing bookmark
files. In this case you should set the setting
Bookmark on Stop
to “No” and
the setting
Update on Stop
to “Yes”.
Load Last Bookmark.
This option controls if Rockbox should automatically load a
bookmark for a file, when that file is played.
No
Always start from the beginning of the track or playlist.
