Aha! Now I see, I assumed that when the box was checked, any audio was =
sent as music, but now what you say makes sense. When you send mp3's, =
and send as music is checked, they are treated differently than audible =
or dtt's.
Thanks.

Don, we are both right. We are hiding those options, because they do not =
=3D
apply to music files. So, your inference that you can hit Send As Music =
to =3D
avoid compression is correct, unless you are sending a DTB or an Aubible =
=3D
file. Those files are always sent as spoken word content, and thus are =
=3D
always subject to any compression that is in effect, regardless of the =
=3D
availability of the compression settings for changing.
Unfortunately, I have know idea what might be sent; I only know that in =
=3D
the case of plain MP3 files, the Send As Music check box works as you =
=3D
would expect, and those options should be hidden. So, if all you send =
are =3D
MP3 files, the UI is correct. If you send Audible files, the UI may be a =
=3D
little confusing. But like I said, if you want to send Audible and music =
=3D
files at the same time, you can simply check Send As Music, and be sure =
=3D
that the software will handle everything the best way. That is, music =
=3D
files are not time/pause compressed; Audible files are sent using the =
=3D
compression settings set the last time you changed them.

Sorry Rob, not sure what you are getting at. What I'm saying is that =
=3D3D
the Audible books were compressed and I didn't want them to be. I had =
=3D3D
assumed by the behavior of the software (hiding the audio options when =
=3D3D
send as music is checked) that this in fact disabled compression. If =
=3D3D
not, then why hide the audio options box when music is checked? That is =
=3D
=3D3D
my real question. In other words, an action which hides a group of =
=3D3D
settings usually means that those settings don't apply in that =3D3D
situation, but in fact they did, and the files were compressed.
Am I confusing you <smile.
Thanks.

Don:
Unfortunately, Send As Music does not apply to Audible books. In short, =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
Digital Talking Books and Audible books are never considered music by =
=3D3D
our =3D3D3D
software, basically because they are books. If you think about it, they =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
way it works is an advantage. For example, if you are sending music =
=3D3D
files =3D3D3D
and decide to send an Audible book, you don't have to concern yourself =
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
with the Send As Music check box.

I sent two audible books to the unit with the "send files as music" =
=3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
checked. Unfortunately, to my dismay, they were compressed, as if "send =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
as music" had been unchecked and I had picked compression from Audio =
=3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
Options. I really think that checking "send as music" should disable =
=3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
any compression previously set when "send as music" is unchecked. =3D3D
=3D3D3D3D20
Of course, if you uncheck "send as music" this should reinstate the =
=3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
compre3ssion settings one desires.
