Update Bookmarks on predetermined intervals?

[sportscrazed2]

I listen to a bunch of podcasts.  When a phone call or something happens i switch off my clip and pick up the phone.  Sometimes I forget to lock it again when starting it up.   Well needless to say when listening to a 3 hour podcast and you accidentally start the podcast again because you had it clipped to your shirt and you went to tie your shoe can get annoying.  Maybe there is a way to setup bookmarks to update on a user defined interval?  Say I want to listen to a podcast and have a bookmark updated every 5 minutes so that if I accidently start the podcast again I'm always within 5 minutes of where I left off?

There is a feature called "prevent track skipping" which might help.

There is but then what about when I'm listening to music and want to skip tracks?   I would have to enable and disable it every time.

I use shortcuts to load sparse settings files, depending what type of media I'm listing too.

One thing that's not been mentioned (and which I've had happen to me a few times) is that when the player crashes, you won't get a fresh bookmark either. There's *no* workaround for that currently, and regularly updating the bookmark automatically would also neatly fix this.
