You can save, edit, delete, and play specific clips of an audiobook right from the player in your app. Creating clips makes it easy to replay your favorite sections, quotes, or bits of dialogue. They can be as long as 44 seconds and as short as 5 seconds. You can also bookmark certain places you’d like to return to later from both the app or Cloud Player on web. 

If you're looking for more information about Cloud Player, including usage instructions and common troubleshooting techniques, please refer to Listen on a browser and Player won’t load. 

Notes:

• Any clip you save in the app will also add a bookmark.
• You can only bookmark podcasts.
• Selecting Go to Bookmark from the app or Cloud Player will resume playback from that exact position. 
• You aren’t able to add or manage clips from the website—only the app.
