Yes, it does remember your place.

Ok, big question.  If you just send mp3's to the card with Explorer,
can =
you stop and pick up where you last left off later on even though you

can't set other bookmarks?

Michael:
If you were to just copy the audio files, you wouldn't have all of the
navigational features available or set book marks. And, you also lose
the option to be able to speed up the file via the Book Port Transfer.
So, while it may be a shorter wait, there is somewhat of a
disadvantage,
unless you don't care about those things in a particular file.=20

Is going through the transfer software slower than just copying the
files from Windows Explorer?  I know it is for text if some
translation
needs to be done, but what about audio files?  What is the difference
in
an MP3 that went through the transfer software, and one that didn't to
the BP?

Basicaly, if you just copy a file to a card then put that card in BP,
you can use navigation commands to move through that file.  This is a
great aid in podcasts and other mp3 files.

Hi,

Beta 27 does seem to have fixed the cutting off of phrases in audio
files.=20
I have found no other problems so far.

Could someone explain what you mean by Book Port now supports
navigation=20
for unindexed mp3 files. What has changed. Are you talking about files
that=20
have not been sent via the transfer software? Are you talking about
files=20
that have been sent via the transfer software but that are just
straight=20
mp3 files like podcasts? How does one need to set the software to take

advantage of the navigation? Should the software be sent to treat the
files=20
as music or as audio?I don't see anything about this in the manual.
Did
I=20
miss it?

Thanks,

Robert Carter
