Playing CD after turning a player off then on

[Tim]

In our car stereo we can continue listening to a CD from the same spot
where we stopped by turning the stereo (or ignition) off -- without any
extra efforts.

Recently I bought a Thomson RCD148 boom box capable of playing mp3's and
this feature is not present. How common is it in boom boxes? Is there a
chance to buy the one with both mp3 and "continue where you left it"
features?

Interesting question, to which I have no answer! ;) Boom boxes aren't
the sort of audio products that get reviewed much.

My advice: When you're ready to buy the boom box, take a CD with MP3
music on it to your dealer and try your test CD on the boom boxes that
interest you.
