AIBU to want a CD player that resumes playback from where I paused it?

Help, please, hive mind of Mumsnet. Does anyone know of a CD player that will resume play from where you left off listening to it, even if it was days ago? You know like some car CD players do - you turn the car on, and the CD starts from where it was when you turned the car off? Rather than going all the way back to the beginning?

I'm going mad trying to find one online! I think it might be called a 'Resume Play' function, but it doesn't seem to exist on an ordinary CD player.

I want it for my kids, who love audiobook CDs. They have Roald Dahl CDs where each book is a single track - so a track can be over 3 hrs long! They can't listen to it in one sitting, obviously, but I can't leave the CD on pause for 24 hours or longer. So what happens is, I press stop, and then the next day we have to try to fast forward through 2 hours of track to find where we were.... It just doesn't work and it's driving me bananas.

Please help! (And please don't just say 'buy a Yoto' because I already have loads of audiobook CDs and I don't want to have to repurchase them all as Yotos.) I'm looking for a standard CD player rather than a personal Discman type one, because I'd like my kids to be able to listen to the story at the same time.

Yes it does resume where they left off. It’s a great bit of kit. My daughters got one for her 6th birthday. She’s about to turn 10, unfortunately it’s just failed but luckily she has taken over her brothers one, they have never been as fussed by audiobooks as she is. If we didn’t have that spare I’d be buying her another. Most of the stuff she listens to are cards I’ve made for her from CD audiobooks or files I’ve found online, or kids podcasts, she just has a few “proper” cards that she’s been bought as presents.

Brilliant, thanks so much - I had no idea you could make your own cards so easily.

We're very old school in this house. Video players, cassette players, dvd players all living their days out in my house.

We have this one. My husband assures me that it will resume where it was stopped. I can't find the manual at the moment though to find out what the feature is called.
