@AndyG: Well, there are any number of challenges with that
implementaion:
(1)  The over-loading of the track skip buttons (on the remote) with
the track pointer feature is unpleasant to work (if your (little)
finger jitters a bit, then you did not quite hold it down long enough
for the SB to understand that you want to place the track pointer, and
it will instead assume you wanted to skip).  I think it used to be even
worse (when it would revert to skip as soon as you let go of the button)
- it seems better now (where it hangs around a bit in track pointer
mode).  Still, feels clumsy (not that I'd have any great suggestions
for improvements, sorry).
(2)  I still have no idea how to place a track pointer from the web
control panel, which might be easier to place.
(3)  My kids simply forget which minute they had listened up to. 
Coming back and trying to iterate towards a spot is just painful.

@Chill: Unfortunately, I do not recall where I read what little I
recollect.  That's why I am throwing it out here, to see whether it
rings any bells with someone.  I think it might have been a
successor/extension/enhancement to ID3? "Bookmarking" sounds
reasonable.  How did your MP3 player work this?
