It is no big deal to me.
Hi Sandy and list:
It does not say anything about being at the end of one file, nor does it say it is switching, nor that it is starting another if automatic file advance is set to yes. When one file ends, it simply moves on to the next file. I'm not criticising for that; it is simply what happens. Please give it a try sometime, and then tell me if you know where you are, without stopping and using star and pound alternately to jog around in order to make a determination.

You obviously wouldn't have been listening very carefully if the file changed without your knowledge. (Smile. No offense meant. But... think about what you just said.) Before the BP advanced to the next file, it would have said, "End of such and such a file name is reached."

I'm glad you raised the question. Please consider the following scenario:
You are in a folder containing several files. You have set automatic file advance to yes. Suppose you've listened for an hour or so. Now you'd like to know where you are. You can press 5 to get the time. Suppose it says something like 5:40. This tells you you are 5 minutes forty seconds into the file, but what file? But you know you've been listening for longer than that. Remember, I said you've listened for an hour or so. How is this possible? Well, it is possible because you have obviously got to the end of the file you were originally in and advanced on. But how far on have you advanced? So no, you don't just *know what you're listening to. Having the filename back in the stats would leave you in no doubt. Some of us know how valuable this is because we remember when it used to be there.

Not meaning to be rude, but wouldn't you generally know what you're listening to though? :-)

How about putting the amount in the settings keypad and put the filename back in the stats key. I miss that and it would be nice.

Actualy, I think they removed it to make room for the amount of space left
on the card. As I recall, they couldn't have both. I like being able to
find out how much room is left on the card but I also wish there were a way
to get the name of the current file. I can't tell you how many times I've
been deep into a book but just couldn't recall the exact title. Of course
it is possible to simply move up or back 1 file and then return to the one
in question with the star or pound keys and get the file name that way. Lou

11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the LORD...
