Bookmark suggestion SoundCloud UI
I noticed on SoundCloud that as you listen to the song on the progress bar, there are comments where a user has selected a time to mention something to the artist. It leaves an info tag/avatar/comment.
I think this would be a great way to view bookmarks. If I could look at the progress bar and see a visual indication with a logo/bubble etc. That I could click on it, which would bring up my comment (info on why I bookmarked)
Expanding on that, I would like to have a quick book mark button on my controls. If I listen to something i like, I could skip back, press the quick bookmark button and continue on and the process would take under 30 seconds. It would then be a blank tag on the playlist line.
If I wanted to organise the bookmark, I would long hold the button which would bring up the keyboard to let me make an information tag.
The next time I go to this podcast, even if I had streamed it, the app would still have a cache of the time stamps and I could look at the playlist bar and press on the tags to skip to the section I want.
If it was a long time since listening to the podcast, if I was patient enough to create an info tag it would jog my memory when I viewed it.
What do you guys think?

I see some overlap or similarity with this one: https://podcastaddict.uservoice.com/forums/211997-general/suggestions/35091010-the-app-could-share-bookmarks-among-subscribers
I know one podcast, which does the time stamping on youtube version as a community effort. It would be nice to be able connect bookmarks, comments, maybe even audio comments with the timeline of the podcast file, regardless of the platform it's been played on..
