Listen to audiobooks via player with speed and pitch controls, and multiple file bookmarks.
An audiobook player for mp3 files. The program offers speed and pitch controls, just like the machines offered by the library to play tapes for the blind. The program also has multiple file bookmark ability, so it will always remember where playing ended. The program comes with a digital signature, to insure it arrives on the users computer as it was created by the developer. This helps control virus and malware infection. Jog buttons are provided to quickly move back and forth in the book, in case the listener has forgotten exactly what was happening in the book at the end of the previous session, or if one wishes to quickly repeat what was just read. The program is freeware, user supported by donations.
Can't drag playback forward or backward--you have to use the buttons. Annoying
Summary
Not worth it.
Bookmarks an audio file like I want it to

Pros
I wanted a player that would start again where I left off and it does that.
Cons
Installing is weird.
Summary
Seems Just Right

Pros
Easy to install.
Has all the basic features.
Remembers where you left off across multiple books.
Reloads your last book where you left off upon startup (unless you cleared the list).
Has speed and pitch adjustment.
Just remember to save your loaded book ("Save List") the first time so you can easily resume in the future (from "Load List").
Scanned clean.
Cons
Not really a con but if you have a 32-bit system you have to swap dlls (included but in a separate file). It's already set up for 64-bit.
There's a "Donate" button but it isn't intrusive and I haven't seen any ads. And if no problems show up for a while, I may use that donate button.
