Smartphone with decent audio app?

[Muse]

I've been having fits finding a way to conveniently listen to my ~3 hour long MP3 files. My new Nokia Lumia 520 (Windows Phone 8.0) will FF/REW decently, I can pause and resume. But if I pause or stop play there doesn't seem to be a way to resume from my stop point if I shut down the phone in the interim. I do that from time to time to save the battery. Even my lowly Sandisk Sansa M250 MP3 players support resume from the stop position as an option, even if I remove the battery. Do some smartphones/OS's support this?

I have been looking for an app to do this with my 520 and not found it. In one Windows Phone Central thread a guy said I could install Windows Phone App for Desktop on a Windows 8 or 7 machine, create libraries and import files into the Nokia and play as audio books, which would support the feature. This seems like a really roundabout and complicated of doing something that should be really simple:

Audiobook Reader ???

Is Mortplayer available for Windows Phone?

Evidently not. I just searched in the Store and it didn't find anything for "mortplayer."

Any podcast app should do this I would think. No idea how the selection is on WP though. Maybe look around the store? With Doggcatcher for android I can import mp3s as podcasts.

Any app that is designed for audiobooks would work. Theoretically a podcast app would too, but I haven't seen one of those that allows you to easily import your own files. Never tried the one mentioned above though.

The podcast apps I had a peak at in The WP Store just talk about finding and downloading podcasts, no mention of importing your own MP3s or bookmarking position. Maybe they do it, I don't know. I'm just looking at the "details" displayed for them that you see when you are trying to decide if you want to install them. I haven't so far because nothing looked like it would do it. There may be an app already on the phone that will do this for all I know, but so far I haven't found one.
