Hi Rich and list:

a separate command would be OK. Perhaps 5+8 or 8+0.

Cheers,
Dave

I agree with you. Perhaps a separate command for folder space might do the trick.

There comes a point, and who knows when that point is reached, where there's just too much information spoken with the 8 command. There's got to be a balance. Everyone probably has their pet favorites, something they'd like to see included, but if you put them all in, it'd take ten minutes to listen through all the info.

Yes and pressing 8 only gets you total amount of remaining space. I would
like to know how much space the folder itself is taking up.

That is a good idea.  Frequently I have to manually count files in a
certain folder.  At least the sluggish behavior seems to be gone if you
put 
more than 20 files in a folder.

You can always get the remaining space on the card by pressing 8 for one
beep. However, having the number of files in a folder announced when the
folder name is announced is a kinda neat idea. Something like, "Audible
folder - 6 files" or whatever.

Feature Request - Number of Files in folderHow about expanding that to
also
have it give you the size of the folder and amount of remaining space on
the 
card.

  I've finally gotten into podcasting and listening to podcasts on the
Bookport - Really neat (and easy!)

Anyway, now that I find myself automatically downloading more and more
files/podcasts into their respective folders on the Bookport, I often
want
to know how many files/programs are being stored in each folder. Since I
don't always get around to listening to a group of podcasts, many
programs
may collect in a folder before I have a chance to listen to them and
delete 
them.

Thus, a feature I would find useful is a keystroke to announce how
many
files are in a particular folder. I'm thinking that a single press of
the 8
key might be made to announce the number of files contained in a folder
when
the Bookport is pointed to a folder name. Currently, hitting 8 when on a
folder name in the Bookport does nothing, so there is an open place for
doing something like this or something similar.
