"It happens automatically; when you arrow to an audio file, it starts
playing using whatever speed and compression choices you have made."

This is true only if the "allow auto preview" check box is checked in the
Advanced options section of the transfer software.

Hi Barbara,

I'll answer your questions within your message.

How do I register Book Port so that I can use Book Wizard on my computer?
From where do I get the authorization key? 

You don't need to register Book Wizard in order to use the Book Port.  You
only need to register it if you want to use it to read books on your PC.  In
that case, you have to buy a registration from APH.

Also, according to the Book Port manual, someone can only speed up audio
files by 1.5, 2, or 3 levels. Is it possible to speed up the files in more
gradations than those outlined in the manual?

When you type Alt-O in the transfer software and choose Advanced Audio
Options, there is an edit box where you can type the speed you want as a
decimal - 1.3, 1.7, etc.


Also, is there a key on the Book Port device that would allow me to speed up
and slow down the audio files? According to the manual, there isn't. Is this
correct?

No there isn't.  You specify a speed before transferring and the file is
transferred at that speed.  There's no way to change the speed once it's on
the BP.

Finally, it says in the manual, that the preview section of the transfer
software will play back the audio file after I com      press it. How do I
get the device to do this?
   
It happens automatically; when you arrow to an audio file, it starts playing
using whatever speed and compression choices you have made.

HTH,
Anna
