Remembering play positions just like a video file. That’s the killer feature missing. ---

> Remembering play positions just like a video file. That's the killer feature missing. That's really all this needs to implemented. It would surely take only a few dev hours to add this feature. I'm really, really keen to see this implemented - just the remembering of play positions, that's it. > this is a duplicate, you should be voting for this [here](https://forums.plex.tv/topic/56331-plexreader-comics-books-pdfs-audiobooks-and-more/?hl=audiobooks) > > Splitting the votes just makes it less likely to get to the top of any lists. Is it? I'm not sure I agree. The thread you linked to is a significantly more broad implementation than what I am referring too here. Audiobooks, in my opinion, are fundamentally different and separate from book books.  I'll say though, one neat idea from that other thread is to link the ebook (if you have it) to the audiobook under one umbrella. That would sure be neat. Especially with the 'sync' options.  ---

+1  I thought the playlist option might include remembering the audiobook position until I was yet disappointed again. ---

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@Support for audiobooks](https://forums.plex.tv/t/very-popular-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. Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it. ---
