Hello,

I figure I need all the help I can get, Donna, so thank you, even with the
copy problems, the book port is still the best thing in town in my opinion.

Hi

This is interesting, I am running the latest version of the beta tests and
am not having the same problem.  I hope I'm not giving offence by asking if
you set your default bookport folder in options and then click the ok
button?  If you are still having the same problem, perhaps a work around is
to copy your books to a separate folder on your computer, launch bookport
transfer by connecting your bookport, then navigate to the folder where your
books are stored.  Don't go into that folder, instead right click, or use
the context key, this brings up a menu.  In that menu, there is an item
called send to, and under the send to menu bookport is listed.  Choose
bookport, and your transfer program will do its usual filtering.

Hope this helps.

Donna.

Hi,
Not that I can say anything to help you, but you are not alone, this is a
problem that I run into constantly, and it has gotten to the point where I
use windows explorer to put the mp3 files on a card, so that they go where I
want them to go.
I know that this does not give me file navigation, but I have in my opinion,
chosen the lesser of two evils.
I also wish that when listening to music, there were a way to do away with
the unit remembering where it left off when it was playing a file.
That is great for something like a book, but when listening to music, I
don't necessarily want to hear a piece of classical music somewhere in the
middle, even if I was interrupted, I would like to be able to start it
without having to put the card on the computer, and delete the hidden files
which control how the unit treats a particular file.

Otto

I set BP to transfer books into a folder called--oddly enough--books. Each
time I ran the transfer wizard, it placed new material into \books without
my telling it anything.  In the recent betas, the default folder name is
gone, leaving a lonely backslash where once \books was listed; and of course
directing transfered materials to the root directory instead of the place I
want them to be.  Each time I transfer material I have to reset the
destination.

if I had my druthers, I sure would druther the folder I set as recipient was
retained unless I chose to change it.
