Save bookmarks as sidecard files in cue-Format

[5TDg9]

I was searching years for a good audio player that supports bookmarking of files.
This app is great for that, but unfortunately it saves bookmarks in an internal database. So these bookmarks are not exportable or usable by other programms.

As there is no real standard for saving bookmarks
in id3-tag, i suggest using sidecar files.

There exists the old cue-format for this, that is still supported by some popular media-players like VLC.

Please see this old but still great piece of software:

and here the description for the cue-sidecard-files:

Especially in lieu of

• Keep book progress and status through file name changes #3221

where bookmarks can easily get wiped because the name of the audio file was changed in the filesystem
