Hi. I don't think this is something you can embed in to an exact file. Your
best bet is to either use winamp all the time with the bookmark file with
all the times and such. Or to split your mp3's into segments. Time marks are
not going to be compatible with different playing systems.
As you've probably figured out. You cannot take an mp3 with time markers and
play it in windows media player. Hope this makes sense.
thanks

I sort of asked this question before and someone told me to use Wave
Pad. But I am a real greenhorn at this stuff and if someone can help
me out with a step-by-step instructions on how to do this, I would be
very greatful. I have several 25 to 50 mgb recording that have no
skip-to points in them. How can I put several in at say, every 5
minutes so as to better navigate forward and backward through the mp3
audio files.
The only way I know of to do this is with Winamp.
1. Start playing the file.
2. Pause with C.
3. Jump to the desired time in minutes and seconds with CTRL/J.
4. Insert a bookmark with m.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you've added all the jump points you
want.
A few caveats.
1. This only works with Winamp using the JAWS scripts as provided by
FS. There may be equivalent functionality with Window-Eyes, I don't
know.
2. The bookmarks are saved in a special JAWS-readable bookmarks file,
not in the MP3 itself, so you can't take the bookmarks or the
bookmarked file with you to another machine.
Once the jump points are added, they stay in the JAWS Winamp bookmark
file until they are removed. While it is possible to remove them
without the use of Winamp, using Notepad or some other text editor,
it's a little obtuse in how to do it, so the bookmarks file could
potentially grow.
