Bookmark mode

The recorder has the bookmark mode in the contents file of the Podcast or Audible file which is transferred to the recorder. When the recorder is in bookmark mode, it automatically memorizes the last stop position as a [Playback Position]. Even the recorder is stopped while a file is being played back, the last stop position is recalled from the file, and the file can be played back from that position next time.
