However, the tiny amount of space it would take to store the information in question is incomparable to the cost in battery life.
Yes, half a percent isn't much but it's still considerably higher than the proportion of capacity that would be lost.
Also, given that older iRiver devices are capable of resuming songs after being completely powered down, it is rather incomprehensible that newer ones would lack such a basic feature.
