Anyone listen to audio books on this CD Player? If so, is there a fast forward or reverse control to see where I'm going?

Hi: I bought this for my wife, and yes, it has those controls, and many, many more. You will be happy with this package, I must say. Not only do you get plenty of quality extras, but the player itself is highest quality. It has GREAT sound, through the headphones or earbuds, and it is so stable that it is more like a pod than a CD player. You can toss it across the room, and it won't skip a note of music. So, that's my impression. I hope it helps.

The only way you could do that would be this: When you're through listening to your audiobook for the moment, simply turn the player off. When you turn it back on, it will be at the exact same place you left off at. Other than that, no, you cannot pause the audiobook, play a couple of songs, then go back to the audiobook and resume where you left off at. Sorry :( Hope that helps...

I'm an audiobook listener, and it will remember you previous track position, assuming you don't skip tracks or add/remove any files. If you do, then it loses the position.

I think that is inherent with all CD players. If you hit the "Play/Pause" button it should save your place on the CD so that when you hit the same button again it will continue where you left off. The "Stop" button does just that--stops the CD completely and starts over.

Yes. Since you asked, I stuck in a music CD and it played it well. The tracks showed on the screen. I didn't know this myself until now.

We each have our preferences, but listening to books on a shuffle is certainly not one of mine. As has been pointed out, there's no way to see where you are in the book, and it doesn't use a scroll wheel like a nano or other ipod to make finding your place easy. Since I usually convert CD audio books to MP3 and ipod formats I've found that when you have a long book (say 12-24 CDs), it's quite easy to lose your place if you ever do anything else with your ipod (and you certainly can't do much with a shuffle), it can be incredible PITA to get back to where you were. I finally dumped my shuffle.I'd recommend a nano (5th Gen is superior to the newest model in my opinion) or anything with a screen.

Anybody tried to play CD in this. I got this player but it's not playing CDs.

It was a gift, so I don't know. Honestly, I do not think that any cd players do what you are interested.

I have never used the Audiobook. For my mp3 downloads I had to get a converter from CNET. I just looked, there are two Audio book converters based on category selection. I'm not sure this will help but I hope it does. Always scan what you download first.

Hey Mick, I think you will find what you need in this CD player. It has the following buttons: play/pause, forward/back, shuffle, repeat and program. It also has mp3 folder button. Hope this helps you decide.

I've had mine for a couple weeks, listening primarily to Audible.com books. So far, it's been the best I've found (aside from an iPod) with resume (interestingly, if the sleep timer shuts off the system, when you turn it back on, you don't need to hit play: it just starts playing where it left off). I haven't tried with any books using a DRM system yet, though.

What do you mean forward and back? when I use it with Audible it moves chapters forward and back. When I use it with Sky FM it will switch between stations. I'm not sure how it works with Pandora but my guess it will move between stations.

My player works great! I can fast forward or rewind during the playback of a song by pressing and holding the double arrow key on the bottom. If you press the button and release, you go to the next or previous song, but if you hold it down it will fast forward or reverse; you can watch the time lapse counter on the screen.

I think I can answer your Q. Yes, you can navigate within a song / file by using the two buttons on the remote marked with the number "24" (see your remote instructions). Pushing and holding down either of these buttons will allow you to fast forward / backward within a song / file. In my answer, I refer to a song / file. I am sure that book CDs have a file format similar to music CDs, i.e. one song equals one file and one file on a book CD might equal a paragraph or page.

I haven't touched the CD portion of it. I play music from my iPhone all the time... I also misplaced the guide and never reset the clock after a power outage. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Yes. You can enter into 'CD' mode, mount a CD, select 'CD Player' and using the rotary encoder wheel highlight a track to start playing from that track. The CD will continue to play until the last track has played. Output is at the RCA line outs and headphone jack. The Master volume does not control the output to the line outs.

Well, I have no idea how long the CD can hold a spot. But, I used the CD player to listen to audiobooks. Since I checked books out from a library with a three week check out time, I tended to listen to a little bit of the audiobook each day. So the CD player definitely held the spot until I was ready to listen to the next section. Over the course of one to three weeks for each book, I never had a problem with the CD starting someplace other than where I wanted it to.
