I really wish this problem could be fixed. I listen to podcasts on my MP3 player to fall asleep, and while I try to remember to set the sleep timer it is a pain to do and if I wake in the night I am too groggy to remember to do it. The player just keeps repeating the tracks and runs the battery down and I have weird sleep.
I moved my files to music as suggested, but then my place isn’t saved in the podcasts when I shut it off during the day or I accidentally knock the player and lose my place (and forwarding is so slow…). I know you can lock the player but I am subject to constant interruptions as I work and need to be able to turn off the player immediately, not wait as I fumble repeatedly trying to unlock the player.
So just posting in here to add my voice to those asking for a fix for this problem.
