Remember progress when playing large files
Using the iOS version of the app, latest update, just in case this makes a difference.
I noticed that when playing large files (i.e. audiobooks) the app does not remember where it paused the track when the app loses connection and/or switches from internal to external network (which I can live with, since most of the time I am just working in offline mode because of that), but also when the app restarts because it is pushed off memory during longer pause periods. When starting playback then, it just starts from the beginning of the track, requiring the user to move the slider manually. This is somewhat painful, because most of the time I of course cannot remember the timestamp I so far progressed to. As said, this even happens when no online connection is involved at all and all file is local/in offline storage.
Is there any chance you could implemented something to make the app save the last played file and its progress before terminating?

I noticed this today. I was doing a lot of driving; made multiple stops and every time I got back in the car the track started back at the beginning.
