Rob,

Too bad.  Now that the pitch problem was fixed for recording memos, I've
sometimes used this feature for learning new tunes on the piano.
Someone will record the melody and I can learn from there.  It would be
useful to have the same kind of navigation/bookmarking capabilities in
these memos as with other audio and text files.  

Also, sometimes I will take phone messages where I might want to put a
bunch of info into a memo based on the phone interaction.  In this case,
the memos can become a bit drawn out as I get feedback from the person
on the other end and speak it into the Bookport.  Here too, it would be
nice if I could bookmark the beginnings of the important information
snippets one gets and puts into a single longer memo.

I surprised that it isn't easy (or almost default) that these memos
couldn't be treated the same as any other audio / text file on the
Bookport.  Then again, I don't know the architecture here.  In any case,
if its easy, it would be nice to have.

Pete:

Bookmarks don't work in memos. This isn't something that is currently on
= the list. Memos are really supposed to be short recordings, so they
have = no navigation.

I cannot get bookmarks to work in recorded memos.  Is this a feature
that should work or will be added later?  I'm surprised this doesn't
work like other audio files.

I notice that the new beta shows as 6 MB while the old was 9. Have I
gotten a partial download or is this okay?

Hi.

The speakers were made by TDK, and they go by the name ImaSpeaker.  They
come in two different models, with one being monaural, and the other
being stereo.  The monaural version is said to be quite a bit smaller
than the stereo version.  Try Ebay, and jandr.com

Best regards,

I am still trying to find the model and/or ordering info for the
external speakers some folks seemed to like on this list a while ago.
Can someone please re-post this info? Thanks.
