Apparently Apple uses a "non-standard" mp3 tag to set "remember playback position", which can be set on _any_ track in itunes - music, audiobook, or other.
When synced to my iPod, this means that if I get partway through a track, go listen to something else, when I return to that track it starts where it left off. Very useful for audiobooks, but also for old-time-radio dramas, and for other long tracks (lectures etc...)
I have been told that Apple uses a "non-standard" tag to turn this on or off. Of course, I'm shocked, shocked that Apple would do anything non-standard.... or maybe not....
In any case, **is there anyway to access this field from mp3tag??**
thanks,
