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.

putThat 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 youalsomore than 20 files in a folder.

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 oftenprogramsto 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, manydeletemay collect in a folder before I have a chance to listen to them andmanythem.
Thus, a feature I would find useful is a keystroke to announce howthe 8files are in a particular folder. I'm thinking that a single press ofwhenkey might be made to announce the number of files contained in a folderearnest,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.
