A work around would be to set a bookmark at your current location and
then hold down the 1 key to go back to the beginning of the file. Then,
return to your bookmark. I'm not saying this is optimum, but in the
mean time...

Hi Grant and list:
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.
Cheers,
Dave
