Hi Pamela

Many audio books and podcasts use mp3s with vbr so this is a
significant limitation.  Please pass on the request that support for
vbr be included in a firmware upgrade or Bookport 2.

Thanks

Hi Kitty

Yes, I just checked and these mp3 files are VBR.  So is there any way
to skip ahead on these files?
