I use my Clip+ to listen to podcasts almost exclusively, and have always found this bug to be particularly annoying.
It looks like the bug has made its way to the Zip also.
I’ve reported it here before, but it doesn’t get fixed. Here’s a link to my description of it.
The thing that needs to be fixed is the timer resetting to 00:00:00 when jumping to the next episode. The playback resumes at the correct position, but the timer goes back to 00:00:00. At this point the only way to not lose your position is to listen all the way to the end of the current episode/file. When advancing to a podcast with a bookmark, the player needs to 1. Start playback at the bookmark position and 2. Update the timer to the bookmark position. It’s only doing the playback part, not the timer part.
Another item of note: this bug only occurs when automatically advancing to the next podcast at the end of the current podcast. It does not happen if manually advancing.
I just never listen to podcasts out of order to get around it.
