I'm listening to an audiobook on my phone while driving to work. At home I want to play some music from my phone, but if I do, I will lose my place in the audiobook.
Are there any music player apps that will let me pause Album A, listen to Album B, pause Album B, then pick up Album A where I left off?
(If there's some really obvious way to do this that everybody but me knows, feel free to point at me and laugh, but only after you answer the question.)

What are you currently using? Podcast apps obviously do that (which your audiobook reference made me think of), but I don’t know about playing “albums” with them.

(regardless, an obvious workaround would be to use a different app for your audiobook than you use for music.)

I usually use Audition to break audio books up into manageable chunks, who can deal with an eight-hour mp3 anyway?

Oh yeah, and podcasts too. I was using Stitcher for podcasts and Pi Music Player for music and audiobooks, but I'm dropping Stitcher and was wondering if I could use one player for everything.
And actually I had been burning the audiobooks onto CDs to play in the car.
