I used my BP extensively this weekend again while I was out of the
country, and loved it. The following observations are all book-related, I
have yet to play music MP3's on my player.
First, I noticed an interesting anomaly on Friday. I was turning the
speech louder, and after a certain poing it kept saying louder but got
quieter and fuzzier instead, to the point where it was silent. I could
turn it quieter again and the sound would return. I did a reset with 2+b,
and everything worked again as it should.
Second, I was wondering how hard it would be to implement a feature that
played MP3's in alphabetical order. If I have books from the CNIB library,
the MP3's are number 01, 02, 03, etc, plus the file name. When you're
dealing with a book contained on 36 or more MP3's, this inconvenience,
though not insurmountable by any means, gets to be a little
time-consuming. Does the hardware of the current Book Port have enough
resources to accomplish this sort of sorting or would such a feature have
to wait for a future incarnation of the unit, when and if one would ever
exist?
Finally, this weekend solidified my convictions about what a wonderful
unit the Book Port is. Absolutely love it.
