I have the same problem on my generic mp3 player. I'm listening to 30-minute long audio lessons of Chinese language, and my player doesn't save playback location when turned off..
I didn't know there was the same problem with iPod, i guess it's just a design flaw. In future they will probably use progressive fast forward speeds (the longer you hold, the faster it goes). |

I've got one of the old ipods, so this works for me at least.
while you are playing a song:
just click on the button in the middle of the wheel and the small time indicator on the timeline turns into a square, then scroll with the wheel where you wanna go on the 'timeline', and press the middle button again. bang! quick as hell.

In your case, you could just slice up that 30-minute file into smaller chunks with any audio editor. I use Mp3 Surgeon for stuff like that so I don't have to decompress/recompress anything. |
