Hi Katie,

Don't get me wrong, I never suggested that we should have folder creation
within the transfer tool in this beta cycle, but I feel it should be pushed
up the priority list for the next cycle.  Currently, transferring several
MP3 albums at once, is a royal pain, especially when you have a folder with
the artist's name, and folders under it containing the album names.  Please
consider doing it soon, the transfer tool is too clumsy for MP3 files at the
moment.

Thanks.

All the best

Hi everyone,

I've addressed Steve and John's comments below:

Ok. I can do that.

We agree that would be a great enhancement. At the moment, however, the
development time required to code and test the feature is more than we have.
We just don't want to hold up this release any longer. Adding a feature of
that size (development-wise), would definitely push out the timeline.

USB2 would definitely improve the transfer speeds, but would require a
hardware upgrade to BookCourier. At the moment we are focused solely on
software upgrades.
