Hi Mark. I guess what I'm trying to do here is to be able to jump to a specific place quickly. If I actually stop the podcast, Itunes does remember where I left off. The problem occurs when I fall asleep and don't stop the podcast, so when I wake up, it is at the end, or I guess I should say at the beginning again. I want to be able to punch in a specific number, like for instance specific hour, minutes and seconds, and have Itunes jump to that specific spot. I could do this with Winamp under Windows. If I thought I fell asleep about 20 minutes into the podcast, for instance, I would hit a key combination and type, say, 00:20:00 and it would jump me 20 minutes into the podcast. On the iPod Touch, it is easier because there is a slider that I can swipe and move the play head quickly forward, but I don't see anything like that on iTunes on the Mac. Even if I could get the command-option-arrows to move in bigger increments, I'd be happy, but as it is now, it only moves a second or so at a time.
