CD Ripped Audiobooks on Sandisk Clip+

[Curmudgeon]

This forum is massive; I've tried a few searches without success; so please pardon, if this is repetitious.  Before launching into the learning of RockBox (almost 200-page manual!), I'd like confirmation that it would allow me do what I'd prefer.

I have two Sandisk Clip+ (the second for my wife).  They are used exclusively for playing audiobooks which have been ripped from the CD collection at our local library.  I rip the tracks, setting the filenames for the tracks to a fixed format, e.g., 03 - 07.mp3 means Disk03 - Track07.  All the tracks for a book are in a directory named for the author, book title, etc.  I usually set the MP3 tags for Artist=author and Album=book title.

At this point, I'd like to just copy-paste a bunch of books (directories) from the computer to the Clip+.  Any miraculously, the books would be there as separate albums, and when played, they would play in order.  Then, because there is usually a book that I am listening to, and another that we listen to when together, it would be nice to have separate bookmarks, so I/we could pick up right where I/we left off.  Finally, while playing, a nice display on the player would show the author, book title and individual filename, or track number. Oh, and these eyes are ancient, so a large font would be helpful.

So, can RockBox (easily?) do what I want?  Are there additional steps I must or should do before transferring from computer to player -- i.e., setting certain tags for various reasons?  Any recommendations at all?

Thank you for your help!

So basically you want to play a bunch of MP3 files and then bookmark your position in the files?  Yeah, thats possible.  Take a look at the manual.

Thank you for the reply.  When ripping (and setting tags, if necessary), is there any special file massaging I need to do, so the tracks play in order, display desired info, etc.?  One problem I initially had was that the player tried to play all the 01-01.mp3 files (across many directories) first, then all the 01-02.mp3 files, and so on.  Very frustrating.  I'd like to avoid similar situations.  Again, thank you.

Yes, if you use the database the files need to be tagged or if using the file browser they need to be arranged into intelligently named files and folders.

Thanks again.  OK, I'll invest the time to go through the manual.  Sounds like it won't be a waste of time.  If I successfully accomplish everything I want, should I document my setup, etc. here for any others that may want to do the same things I do?

Theres thousands of guides to ripping files on the internet, so it may not be necessary to make another one.
