The Book Port can play any Layer 3 file, which can have a maximum bit rate =
of 320 BPS. Layers 1 and 2 have higher maximum bit rates; I don't know if =
the Book Port can handle them or not.

Just out of curiosity, is their a bitrate limit for what the bookport =3D
will transfer and play? For example, I have a Gateway portable mp3 =3D
player which only plays files up to 128 kbps.
Thanks.

I don't have any ideas on this one. We are coming out with a new version =
=3D
=3D3D
of the software shortly which uses a much improved way of sending MP3 =3D
=3D3D
files, so perhaps the problem will be fixed then. I can only guess that =
=3D
=3D3D
her file name has some unusual character or something that is tripping =3D
=3D3D
things up.

OK Rob, with these two albums, she sends a song at a time as usual, and =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
they are just regular mp3 files. So let's say the file is called Loving =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
you.mp3, she gets the error message
cannot create f:\loving you_dd
specified file cannot be found
Any ideas??
Thanks.

When you say "consistently chokes the transfer tool", what do you mean? =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
Are there any particular error messages? Is she sending the entire CD as =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
one file, or are the tracks in separate files? Is she sending the files =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
as =3D3D3D3D
.wav or .mp3 files? Are the track names extremely long?
The VBR limitation of Book Port Transfer was removed some time ago, so =3D
=3D3D3D
as =3D3D3D3D
usual, make sure she has the latest versions of everything.

I am asking this on behalf of a friend who has a BookPort. She has two =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D3D
specific albums on CD which, when ripped, produce MP3 files which =3D
=3D3D3D3D3D
consistently choke the transfer tool. I am guessing that there is =3D
=3D3D3D3D3D
something in the encoding of these particular cd's which is causing the =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D3D
ripper to default to VBR. I could be way off base on this; does anyone =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D3D
have any ideas on this and how it might be fixed? It is fortunately =3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D3D
very consistent and all other materials she rips are sent to the bp with =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D
=3D3D3D3D3D
no problem.

Thanks.
