Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I'm driving, or mowing the lawn, or cooking, etc., I'm usually listening to an audiobook. When a section of the book grabs my attention, I need to stop, pull out my phone, unlock my screen, open the app, rewind to the right spot, and set a bookmark.

Describe the solution you'd like

I have no idea if something like this would be possible, but I can play/pause from my earbuds. I would like a feature where if I pause then resume playing within 1 second, it would create a bookmark. This way I could quickly set a bookmark without needing to pull out my phone.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't know of any, so far I just stop what I'm doing then manually adding a bookmark from the UI.

Additional context

I'm sure some people would be frustrated by this, so perhaps it should be a feature that needs to be turned on in settings first.
