[EDIT]: Audacious does this, but Audacious doesn’t view the file as a playlist rather as one file, I wish this could be changed, I don’t know it might be. [\EDIT]

So, pretty much the title. I got this amazing Audiobook from Internet Archive and I wanted to play it in Linux.

But everytime I use VLC, VLC remembers where I was in a particular mp3 file but not on the whole playlist. Is there an application which will remember where I was in a particular playlist and in the individual file of that playlist?

    Thank you! Audacious worked. But, worked in a manner which I didn’t prefer.

    You see, if you download a audiobook from Internet Archive and it has chapters written into them, Clementine or Strawberry player would expand those chapters and show them as separate. But, audacious weirdly enough doesn’t do this, it views the whole audiofile as one file and doesn’t view any chapters. I like Audacious and I am likely retiring Clementine and Strawberry, but it would be nice if I could see the whole file as a playlist.

      I haven’t tested if position in a playlist is remembered when doing this, but I know that Audacious can view a file as multiple tracks in a playlist using a .CUE file (like for CD images).
