Can Video Player Play Mp3 Files If I Rename Them?

[imhotep]

Unfortunately there is no audio player for the GP2X that can bookmark MP3's. This would be a great feature which I hope they add. Sometimes I am half way through listening to a number of podcasts and I find it too hard to remember where I am up to in the shows.

However, I heard that the new firmware (v2.1.0) has added a new bookmarking feature for the video player. Can I rename an mp3 to .avi and play it in the video player? Does the bookmarking feature still work in this case?

Edit: I would try it myself, but I don't own a GP2X yet.

My question was answered elsewhere. Seems that the video player can play audio files (if renamed), but cannot bookmark / automatically resume them.
