Walt: The way to find out what was new has past in your case, since the Details button was the key. Let me list what's in this new beta firmware: 1. The problem reported where the unit could crash when switching between two MP3 files with Auto File Advance turned on has been fixed. 2. Power search should work much better with VBR MP3 files. 3. Word navigation in Spanish mode has been fixed. In version 2.2, it switched to English mode. 4. Character navigation has been improved. The unit could sometimes get out of synch when navigating by character.

There doesn't seem to be an accompanying transfer software beta, so I'm guessing it's something relatively minor. -- Walt Smith - Clearwater, FL walt@xxxxxxxxxx
