Here is my more realistic wish list for the BP. I have a dishwasher now. I
realize that some of these suggestions would require a hardware change,
but for what it's worth, here's the list.
HIGH PRIORITIES:
1. USB 2-enabled; the speed difference is substantial.
2. A true lock mode that doesn't activate the unit every time a key is
pressed;
3. Seek to time feature; seeking by time is fine for short files, but seek
to time would still, in my mind, be desirable.
4. Direct, no-vonversion-necessary, OGG Vorbis support.
5. Option for an externally audible beep to indicate recording. The record
feature is really nice, but it gets less convenient if you have to put on
a pair of headphones each time to get the audible varification that you're
recording.
6. Independent volume controls for voice and audio.
7. More memory in the unit and a more modern processor, so that things
like necessary conversions, grade two translation, etc. could be done in
the unit and on the fly.
8. 4-GIG CF card support.
9. Correct mapping of the stereo channels to the correct speakers.
10. Still-finer control of volume.
11. Eliminate transfer limit of 250 MB
12. Ability to sort directory listings automatically so files play in
correct order.
Lower-Priority:
1. Third battery to run the clock.
2. Ability to write error messages to files so that line numbers need not
be memorized.
3. Memorize latest point read in a file in case that point was
inadvertently navigated away from; should work for audio and text files.
I would gladly pay for a new unit incorperating these features, and I
would gladly beta test those new features.
Just my wish list. I'M NOT WHINING.
