Audiobooks
Resume listening
Audiobooks always pick up exactly where you left off, per file.
Introduction
Close the book anytime. Stow picks up where you stopped — no bookmark button required.

Steps
- Listen to any audiobook or long podcast episode.
- Stop playback or switch apps.
- Return later and play the same file — Stow resumes from your last position.
Tips
- Brief samples under ~30 seconds won't create a resume point.
- Near the end, Stow may start the next listen from the beginning — you're effectively done.
- Resume points are included in library backup.
