That is precisely how I sent the files.

Hi Richard. I believe you must use the BookPort transfer software to
send the music mp3 files or audio mp3 files to Bookport, checking or
unchecking the "music" audio item, because the bookPort expects the
files to
be sent from that software which sends information regarding sections
while it transfers. If music, it sends minute breaks to use as markers,
and if mp3 audio, it uses pauses in the narration to govern the
sections. Of
course, Larry will have to correct me if I'm wrong, since he is the
orchestrator here. :) Try it with the transfer software, checking the
"music" item. I don't know how bookport feels about "vbr" stereo music
or mono
mp3 files.

Greetings:
My place of employment is attempting to try a pilot project with several
Bookports. We are considering lending them to a hand-picked group of
patrons. We will pre-load them with several different types of
supported files. It's just an experiment, and we've run into an
interesting problem. First, the card that came with the device could not
be seen. We formatted the card about three times, and it finally became
visible. However, here is the unusual part. We transferred several MP3
music files, and they play very slowly. I guess I must be lonely,
because I'm about to date
myself. It sounds like a 33 and one third album being played on 16 and
two thirds. Has anyone ever seen this, and is there a cure? Thanks.
