I use OggPlay 1.65 on a 6680 primarily for listening to a playlist of mp3 & ogg files from podcasts. The problem I have is that when OggPlay is closed (which happens when I run Opera, or the Sync program starts up, or the phone runs out of memory for any other reason), I lose my place in the playlist. While I can usually remember which track I was listening to, skipping through a 60min file to find my place is frustrating, and dangerous if I am driving!
Suggestion - when playback is stopped or paused, and possibly periodically while playing (every 30s perhaps), save a "bookmark" of the current playback state. When OggPlay is next started, go to this bookmark by default so that playback can continue.
If such a system is implemented, it might be good to implement a whole system of bookmarks (like the Rio Karma has) which would let the user save their place in multiple playlists. These are really useful when listening to audio books.
Thanks for a great piece of software.
