please add regular playlist playback with memory where left off.
While not a real podcast option, it resembles a similar treatment of what you do with the podcast playlist anyway, so you continue where you left off.
I have a few playlists which are rather static and managed outside the device, kind of building up internal radio stations for me. They are quite long with hundreds of entries. I usually swap between these playlists depending on mood or occasion and I want to be able to resume each where I left off and not start each again with first track. The playlists should be able to repeat (wrap around). Only a single Android player (Just Playlists) has this feature while the author told me it was default for Apples iPod.
Currently I just swap applications but I think that functionality is close to what you implement anyway.
