From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[SOLVED] Need a Linux Audio player Application which will remember where I was in a playlist and where I was in a particular audio file (lemmy.ml)

[EDIT]: Audacious does this, but Audacious doesn't view the file as a playlist rather as one file, I wish this could be changed, I don't know it might be. [\EDIT]

So, pretty much the title. I got this amazing Audiobook from Internet Archive and I wanted to play it in Linux.

But everytime I use VLC, VLC remembers where I was in a particular mp3 file but not on the whole playlist. Is there an application which will remember where I was in a particular playlist and in the individual file of that playlist?

I usually use audacious for streaming audio, but with its playlist feature I'd be surprised if it didn't remember the spot in a file.

I use audacious for my flac files and yes, it does remember position.

Thank you! Audacious worked. But, worked in a manner which I didn't prefer.

You see, if you download a audiobook from Internet Archive and it has chapters written into them, Clementine or Strawberry player would expand those chapters and show them as separate. But, audacious weirdly enough doesn't do this, it views the whole audiofile as one file and doesn't view any chapters. I like Audacious and I am likely retiring Clementine and Strawberry, but it would be nice if I could see the whole file as a playlist.

I haven't tested if position in a playlist is remembered when doing this, but I know that Audacious can view a file as multiple tracks in a playlist using a .CUE file (like for CD images).
