An audio playback positioning method. A processor retrieves audio data from a memory, divides a progress bar showing playback time of the audio data into segments, utilizes a length of a progress bar segment as a unit to perform playback skipping on the audio data, and retrieves an audio data segment through the skipping. The processor further divides a progress bar segment corresponding to the retrieved audio data segment into sub-segments in response to input operations, and utilizes the length of a sub-segment as a unit to perform playback skipping on the retrieved audio data segment to retrieve and perform playback operation on a target position thereon.
