[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?

      I wish Strawberry had the ability to delete music files. Aside from that it's probably the best player in the Linux ecosystem.

      Strawberry, built upon Clementine is quite nice (in it's looks), but although it does remember the chapter I was in, it won't remember where I was in that chapter. If I click on that chapter, it would just begin from the beginning. Audacious solves this to some extent.

      Clementine, just like it's fork Strawberry will remember which chapter you were in (which file of the playlist you were playing when you exited the application), but it won't remember your location in that file. This is troublesome if you are playing chapters with length of 43 mins - 1 hour as I am. Audacious helps me with this thought.

    mpd can be used for this, by configuring a state file. Then you can use a client like ncmpcpp for the terminal or f.ex. Cantata for gui. I believe that Cantata can be used to set up mpd for you, but I've never used that feature,

    SMPlayer will do that, althought i am not sure about the playlist thing but it will defenitely remember where you where in the file
