The firmware gets updated every time I plug in the bookport to my PC, so, yes the firmware has been updated.
When I say garbled, I mean it is unrecognizable sounds, kind of like the sound when the dental hygenist cleans your teeth with that sonic device.
lots of screetches and squeals; garble is the best word I knew of to describe it.


It may not have anything to do with RFBD; it just happened shortly after I installed the software to allow my bookport to use RFBD files that this happened; I probably shouldn't have mentioned that; looks like that fact has only confused the other facts.

Donald:

Have you also updated your firmware?  I doubt this is in any way
related to RFB&D.  When you say, "it's garbled," do you mean staticky or
something else?

I used to listen to MP3 files on my bookport.  I installed software
from RFBD, so I could listen to their daisy books, and shortly after
that, (a week or so), The bookport stopped playing MP3 files properly.

They sound like garble now.
I've tried deleting the files, and re loading them, and regardless of
the type of MP3 file I transfer to the bookport, it doesn't play
properly.
I'm running the most recent software update;
All other file types play just fine, even the memo files, but not MP3
type files.
any ideas about what could be causing this?

Thank you for your help
