If you tag all the tracks you want to include with something in the Comments (You can do this to multiple tracks in the same album by Selecting all of them and Holding down Apple I to get the track information). Then, go up to the menu bar and select File -> New Smart Playlist. Then, Select Comments in the first down down menu. Enter in the same information you did for the Comments field in each track. Your iPod should recognize the new playlist if you sync them properly. Have a good one! I think you may be describing smart playlists.

I've heard it's a bookmark (useful for audiobooks, long voice recordings, etc) so that it willrestart at last position. (NOT for starting the same song at the same position it is played each time.) please confirm. Thanks! other summaries very useful. it's all about usability! definition of remember position is unclear.

Trying to change the start point with "Remember Position" wouldn't work because the position will change every time the track is stopped and restarted. Actually, I take that back.

"Remember Position" as described on macosxhints ( http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20051204114910490 ) will remember the position in a track where it's stopped - for example, if one is listening to an audio book and playback is stopped, when the track is played again, it will start where it left off; like a bookmark.
