    I'm trying to play a large mp3 file on my phone of a book - 84 hours long and 1.2gb in size.

    The default music app won't play it. Can anyone suggest a good free alternate music app that might? Extra useful if the app could remember how far through it I am and carry on from where I left off.

    Why not simply split the mp3 into manageable chunks and play them one after the other?
    Laura Knotek and LeadStory like this.

    Agreed, it would be extremely hard, coming from a developer, to make anything parse a 1.2gb file, let alone in a background task (many of the media players do this so that they can run the audio in the background), and even if someone did have support for it, which they don't, it would probably take a few hours of loading before anything productive happened.
