Hi Peter,
Not in the same ballpark, the PTX1 is rather large, and doesn't fit in a
pocket. It is the most universal player on the market though for formats,
as it plays USB stick, SD card, CD and has internal memory as well. No other
player can play so many types of media.
All the best
Steve

Hi Amro,
So everything you say about the BookSense is heresay, and pretty well
inaccurate. But that's because "I was told" as you say.
You should really see a device before you cast judgment on it.
I have both here, and I think currently the Sense is the best player on the
market on many levels.
Navigation is more like Windows. You go to a folder, you hit enter or play
on it, and it does it. Until recently, the stream didn't even have multi
level folder support.
It records in MP3 and WAV for free. Stream users are going to have to pay
for that luxury in a paid for upgrade.
It is more responsive, has better Text To Speech, and actually feels nice in
the hand.
In fact, I can't think of anything currently that the stream now does
better.
They have just brought out a free upgrade for the stream that, wait for it,
lets you read Word files. Sense has done this from the beginning.
To me, the stream is pretty big and bulky, and now does less. Heck, it
doesn't even play M4A files supported by iTunes. Sense does.
Finally, we have had at least three updates to the Sense in the last six
months.. We have waited about a year for this most recent upgrade for the
Stream. This says to me a lot about development. HIMS are well on the ball
when it comes to developing the Sense.
I loved the stream when I first bought it, and it was the first there. But
it has somewhat lost momentum to me, in terms of development.
Finally, a little disclaimer. Yes I do sell the BookSense, but I also sell
the stream, so I have no axe to grind. But to me, the Sense is assuredly
the best specialist player out there.
All the best
Steve

I'm not sure though why would one choose the Booksense over the Victor
Stream. The VStream is cheaper to start with, has a better navigating
options than the Booksense from what I gathered listening to a couple of
Booksense demo podcasts, looks better than the Booksense which looks like a
cheep mobile phone I was told and can do everything the Booksense can do
apart from playing the Enhanced Audible formats.
I'm not just being derogative, I'm actually interested.
Cheers,
Amro

You can play folders at any level and that will play any subfolders as well.
If you select to play the root music folder on the Booksense and left it
playing, all folders in that music structure would play till they were
finished. This could indeed allow for hours of music playing.
