I see that under "playback rules" there is the option for enabling bookmarking for those file types listed (music, podcast, audiobook, etc.) - but is it possible to enable bookmarking for files of a certain genre? or possibly a given collection?

No just for a default Types.

Lowlander - thanks for the reply. I have noticed that default types are not defined by genre, ie I switch a track to the genre of podcast and it still does not bookmark. What defines the criteria for the default types -what is MM looking at when it recognizes something as a podcast?

It actually is defined by Genre: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 74#p299374, but this only is done when files are added to the Library. Afterwards Genre changes don't invoke Type changes as you can manually adjust the Type yourself in the Properties window.

Thank you.

Actually I have enabled bookmarks for all the default file types but bookmarks are not working for anything.

Works fine for me. Are you sure these tracks have been scanned into the library?

Yes I have and I need to clarify. Bookmarks are not working during playback on my ipod (ipod classic), but they are working for playback in MM. Bookmarking did work for ipod playback in MM3.

I believe bookmarking only works in iPod for certain types, like audiobooks and videos.

iPod Bookmarking did work for all file types in MM3. It was configurable.

Could anyone shed more light on iPod bookmarking and MM4?

I have switched back to MM3 and bookmarks are working on my iPod. I would like to use MM4 but the feature is important to me since I listen to a lot of long sermons, speeches, etc. Any additional insight on how to get bookmarks working for playback on my ipod for files besides audiobooks would be appreciated.

Can you confirm that it does work for audiobooks in MM4?

Yes, I can confirm that it works for audiobooks in MM4 - I specifically tested this before switching back to MM3.
