Unfortunately, it is looking more and more like that unit will have to =
come back.

Richard and Sarah,
It's slowly becoming clearer.
1. System 1 send an MP3 to the "problem" Bookport and it plays slow.
2. the same System is used to sends the same MP3 to a different Bookport =
and
it works fine.
It does seem to be unique to that particular Bookport unit. I like Don
Barrett's suggestion of reinstalling the firmware. That would be the next
thing to try.
Good luck.
