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.
