Hi Everyone

I know there is a Booksense discussion list, but I do not want to join it until 
I have a booksense.  I might be getting one soon and have some questions 
before I decided whether or not to get it.  I have been looking through the 
manual, which I downloaded from the RNIB site, and have also listened to a 
podcast from Blind Cooltech.

Looking at the manual there does not seem to be a Rewind or Fast Forward 
control.  I know it is possible to jump by time, and I know the smallest jump 
is 5 
seconds, but the Victor Reader Stream has a time and fast forward and rewind.  
I had an idea that the latest firmware improved this.  Am I correct?

The manual talks a lot about selecting the tracks you want to play, either 
selecting playlists or the file or folder you want to play.  Is it possible to 
go to a 
track, set it playing and let it play through all the folders until you stop 
it.  Again, this is possible on the Victor Reader Stream and most other MP3 
players I 
have seen.

Is it possible to go back to a track on a previous folder?  For example, if one 
is listening to Track 1 of a folder, if you go back one track will it go to the 
last 
track of the previous folder in the music list?  This is not possible on the 
Milestone 3.11, although most other MP3 players will allow it.

Is it possible to turn off some of the annoying tones on the Booksense as one 
can on the Victor Reader Stream?

I would be interested to see what people have to say about the Booksense.
