iTunes/iPod tip: Bookmarking audio files Apple recently published an interesting Knowledge Base article noting that you can use bookmarking on any AAC-encoded audio file by simply using a file utility (such as XRay or FileXaminer) to change the file's Type code to "M4B " (including the trailing space). Note that this feature doesn't work on standard MP3 files; you'll need to convert files to AAC, or re-rip them from the original CD in AAC format, to be able to use this feature with them. [MacFixIt]Why I think this is unbelievably great is because it means that I can simply convert any nauseatingly long audio files I record using my Belkin Voice Recorder on my iPod, and suddenly have bookmark abilities! Long stretches of lecture notes that I can pause and return to later. THAT RULES!
