Hi, on my Clip plus, I can check roughly how far through an audio file I am when I look in the Recent bookmark folder. It says how many minutes you are through. This is ok if the book you are reading is one large audio file but you need to find out it's total length before you can work out how far through you are.
If the book is made up of many audio files it is easy.Say, for example, your book has 20 audio files, when you open up your Recent bookmark folder it will say you are so many minutes through track 5 so you can estimate that you are a quarter of the way through the book.

That information is actually available for sighted users on the While Playing Screen on any Rockboxed player. Unfortunately that doesn't help those of us who can't see the screen. I usually don't pay attention to the length of the book, as long as it's enjoyable. If it's unenjoyable, then I can't wait until it ends. LOL!

I was reading on amazon that remaining time is available on the sansa clip plus but not on the clip zip *for the sighted*. I would love to be able to find this with the talking features that Laz adds. -----Original Message----- From: tmp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:tmp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gerardo Corripio Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 3:13 PM To: tmp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [tmp] Debut question or maybe tip of knowing book's length? HI guys Maybe debut tip or question? OK you know when sighted people reads books, they have the physical book to judge how thick the book is? OK on our Sansas, there's no way for the player to tell us like Winamp does, the length of the book, thus I name the book with the length info: for instance suppose the book Superfudge by Judy Blume is let's say maybe three hours? I'd rena,name it something likeJudy Blume Super Fudge (3 hours so minutes). Any other ideas? since it'd besome hassle having to rename books! -- Enviado desde mi lapGerardo J Corripio Flores Psicólogo, Terapéuta Reiki Saludos desde Tampico,Tamaulipas México RompiendoBarreras espacio de psicología/Superación Personal Sábados 10PM México http://radiogeneral.com ¡los esperamos!
