The solution I propose does exactly what you want. When you get to the =
end of a song, you move to the next one if you have auto advance on, then =
when you play those songs again, they start from the beginning.

I disagree. there are times when you've listened to, say, an entire
Beatles album, and you don't want to reset each song so you can hear
it again. My current solution to this problem is just to use a USB
reader to transfer the files onto the CF card (this also saves battery
life). Of course, I lose the ability to rewind and fast-forward. But
ever y time I move from one song to another, the first song is reset
to the beginning. This is more important to me than being able to
fast-forward during my music selections. So I save the BP transfer
tool for text and audio book files.
Thanks for listening, all!
