MP3 Playback sometimes restarts sometimes resumes

 

I download POD Casts to listen to on my nuvi 650. The program I listen to is 30 minutes long. My commute is 15 minutes. So I listen to half on the way to work the other half on the way home. Sometimes when I get in the car to come home the program restarts at the beginning, usually it resumes where it left off. What do I need to do to have it consistently resume where it left off? There seems to be a way to put a bookmark in an Audible.com file. What is the difference between an MP3 file and an Audible.com file? Can I convert an MP3 to an Audible file?

Thanks

Unfortunately the mp3 player

Unfortunately the mp3 player on the nuvi is pretty limited without a lot of additional controls. You get only the very basic set.

Hopefully Garmin gets the player updated to work more like a Pocket PC where you can use the touch screen and simply drag the play progress indicator anywhere along its length to start play at the new location.

Another wishlist for the nuvi.

I was wondering if you ever notice the mp3 player instead of pausing when you get a voice alert that it skips to the next music file? My 680 does that but not my 770.

I'm not sure why it would restart sometimes. That's an odd behavior.

You can't convert an MP3 into a AA (Audible) file, but you could break your MP3 into segment (say 5 minutes in length) and then create a playlist for the whole thing and load that into the unit.

MM has a good idea there.
