It doesn't. It creates a new .bmf file with the same name and location as the mp3 or m3u file.

Currently you get it when you press STOP in the WPS. I agree, though, that we should have the option of creating several bookmarks. Otherwise it's just a "multi-resume" and not a real bookmark feature. This also means we need to be able to remove one or more bookmarks from the bookmark file.

Some comments on the code, now that I've looked at it:

- Please split lines longer that 80 columns
- I'd prefer using a comma instead of asterisk as value delimiter in the file
- There is no need restricting ourselves to a 3-char extension. Quite the opposite, I bet $10 .bmf is already used some obscure windows applications. How about using .bmark instead? (The full .bookmark might be a bit longish.)
- Don't use C++ comments.
- Don't leave commented-out code in the file.
