Hi,

Keep in mind when you do this, you will have no navigation, or at least not
that have found, that is, no rewind or forward movement.

So, if I understand you right, it is not necessary to use the BookPort
transfer software to copy mp3 files to the flash card, and they still work
fine with BookPort so long as they are not indexed files?

That would mean cutting down on the number of extra index files also.

: That is exactly right.  There is the additional flexibility of letting

: question for Larry:
: 
: When moving files to the flash card (bypassing the transfer software),
: is 
: there advantages/disadvantages of using a card reader, versus leaving
: the 
: card in the bookport?
: 
: You may wish to do a podcast on this but here are my summations.
: 
: 1.  If using an external card reader you save battery power on the
: bookport.
: 
: 2.  As the bookport is USB 1.0, you can get faster speed by using a USB
: 2.0 
: card reader.
: 
: Those are my ideas.
