Do you prefer your podfics with chapters?

So I'm recording my recent longfic, and wondering if I should keep the chapter breaks, or just read on. And if I do keep the chapter breaks, should I make each chapter into a different file? The whole thing will be about five and a half hours, and there are eight chapters as well as a prologue and epilogue. So that's a little more than half an hour per chapter, on average.

I know most people probably listen by streaming these days, right? Me, I still download the files and put them on my mp3-player (yes, I'm old-school), so I don't like files that are too large, because if I lose my place, I can't find it again. But OTOH, I don't know if it will bother people who stream if I do have multiple half-hour files, and put them all in a folder on box.com? This is the way I usually do it for long podfics, though the files are usually larger.

I...also do not listen by streaming mostly because I don't know how to make it work on my damn phone and I really prefer chapter breaks because otherwise I WILL lose my place.

Hee, you sound a bit like me, then, except that I don't have a smartphone. Thanks for weighing in! : )
