Do any of the Ruizu, Agptek or newer Sansa's have a way to set a bookmark in your current file, the implication being that you can have remembered places in several different files? Preferably an automatic bookmark? That's one great feature of the RockBox firmware - it will automatically set a bookmark in whatever file you are playing when you turn it off. You can have multiple bookmarks in the same file, and each file has it's own set of bookmarks.

Not that I need a lot of bookmarks. But sometimes I'll want to listen to an audiobook, and other times maybe to music. I don't want to lose my place in the audiobook because I played music in between. So a simple "resume from where you last left off", which about every MP3 player out there has, is useless if you change files between listenings. Such players will only save your place in the very last file you were listening to.

If the stock firmware in any of these "Clip-like" players can do this different-bookmark-per-file thing, then there is not so much of a need for Rockbox (for audiobooks at least).
