I have recently started using my plex server for listening to audiobooks and podcasts and I would love to have the ability to track which tracks I have listened to like movies and TV shows show up as unwatched or watched.

This would be a HUGE benefit for me. While Plex will remember where I am in a music file now, it won’t remember which file it left off with. I have several audiobooks that are in multiple parts, with some having over 80 files. If I could see that the first 30 are “watched”, it would be easy to know where I left off, but right now it’s just a guessing game.

Another benefit of this feature would be that you could get sync to work just like it does for video files. I could create a playlist of books, and have it sync files on and off my device as I finish them.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

> [@Support for audiobooks](https://forums.plex.tv/t/remember-position-for-audiobooks/27518/1):

> remember the play position for audiobooks also. especially now as it is possible to sync them and take them with you. [Edit Mod] This post is also asking for an audio book specific library type separate from music library. While remembering position is part of a Music library, Audiobook could help with other features like chapter selection, books covers, publishers, etc, which is not possible in a Music library.

Therefore this one is closed.
