Peter:

Book Port uses phrase detection, so it should be great for what you want =
to do, assuming that it finds phrases where they actually are. Hitting a =
key moves to the previous phrase; another key moves to the next phrase.

Larry,

I have some teach-yourself foreign language lessons in MP3 format. The=20
user is supposed to listen to the spoken text, and then to repeat it=20
frequently. That means one constantly has to rewind a few seconds worth=20
of material in order to listen to a phrase again.

How suitable is the Book Port for this kind of task - listening to=20
spoken text in MP3 format and skipping back and forth within the MP3=20
file in order to review difficult phrases? I guess what I am asking is=20
whether Book Port has anything anything akin to a fast forward/reverse=20
function with regard to MP3's.

Peter
