I've never dealt with "libraries" before. I just started checking it out. I'm first off going to try to set it up using the network connection. One reason is I am not right now in the habit of using this Windows 7 laptop very frequently. I may upgrade one of my Windows XP laptops to Windows 7.
I just tried making the network folder that has the bulk of the files the default folder in the library but got an error, evidently a common error being that the folder is not indexed. I checked on the server machine and it is indexed. Digging down in MS's help I see that the problem may be that the server machine is running Windows XP. Further digging into MS's help, I see that installing Windows Search 4.0 on the XP server machine may get this working.
Gosh, this all seems pretty complex and unnecessary just to get my Nokia Lumia 520 to play MP3 files and remember where I was when I stop play. I have to wonder if there's an app out there that supports that feature, which seems pretty simple. The developer could include a button to "Save position," if just shutting down the app wouldn't work.
I tested and I'm pretty OK with the way my Nokia is handling FF/Rew even with my ~3 hour long MP3s. I am completely surprised at this, many is the time that I was infuriated by the results when I used FF/Rew on my Sansa M250 MP3 players that I used before I got the Nokia a couple of weeks ago! That and the offline GPS make the Nokia a totally worthwhile acquisition for me. However, if and when I can work out a means of saving my position in a long MP3, will really improve things. I think it remembers if I hit pause, but of course if I shut down the Nokia it forgets.
