Hi APH, I am updating my PC operating system from windows ME to windows XP.
I have to reformat my hard drive unfortunately. I have looked all over and
cannot find my bookport installation CD. Is it possible to download the
software from your web site? Thanks.

Unfortunately, I need a lot more information about the files that were =
being sent. Were they Audible files? Were they MP3 files ripped from CD? =
Were the files large or small?
The best thing to do in this situation would be to try sending each file =
by hand until you get the error. If you don't get the error this way, that =
would also be useful information, though I suspect you will. If you find a =
file that gives the error, I need MP3-specific information about the file =
if you can get it, such as the bit rate, CBR or VBR, sample rate, and any =
other information you can offer.
I suspect the preview issue is separate from the sending issue, but I will =
look into it more.

APH,
I cued nine mp3 files to be sent to the bp; they had a compression of =3D
1.5 and a time compression of 80%. Only one file transferred correctly =
=3D or at all for that matter; as each file was transferring, I kept getting
= =3D the message: "compressing time: 100 percent book port transfer bad
=3D parameter format." I was then placed on an ok button, which upon =3D
hitting it, started the transfer of the next file, only to have the same =
=3D thing happen again. I think that after the eighth file, I got the end
=3D of transmission xylophone sound, so I am thinking it lost count and =3D
didn't even try sending the ninth file.
I have a hunch this problem is somehow related to the fact that I =3D
previewed most of these files to see how they would sound with =3D
compression. I say this because after previewing only a few seconds of =
=3D most of these files, and closing the software and coming back into it, I
= =3D could not preview again those files I had previewed before almost as
if = =3D they weren't reset or something; I don't know if this scenario of
having = =3D previewed them set them up for transmission failure, but I
thought I =3D would mention just in case.
